Perceptions of CrossFit Participants Aged 50–65 About How They Motivate Themselves to Engage in Intense Physical Activity

Overview
Strategies for psychological tools use and techniques to enhance motivation in older adults are underrepresented within sport and performance psychology research. The purpose of this qualitative study was to develop an older adult profile of mental skills use by adults aged 50- 65 who participate in CrossFit. By creating a baseline understanding of mental skills use, this study could potentially be used by older adults outside of CrossFit to start or increase their levels of physical activity through the use of psychological tools. This study included 25 CrossFit participants from 10 different CrossFit gyms in the greater Denver area. Semi- structured open-ended interviews were conducted to provide a baseline understanding of the older CrossFit adults’ understanding of mental skills and their use, provide recommendations for practical psychological tools application by sport psychology professionals with older adults, and identify potential areas for future research. The participant profile consists of multiple internal motivational characteristics and suggestions for how this understanding can benefit others outside of CrossFit.
