Open(ing up) goals in physical activity: What works, when, and for whom?

该项目旨在提高对开放式目标的认识，作为一种新的目标设定方法，以优化缺乏运动的个体对身体活动的采用和维持。该项目期望对解释为什么、何时以及对谁开放目标在这一人群中特别有益的机制产生实质性的见解。预期的结果包括一个开放目标理论，它将为促进体育活动的努力提供信息，并有可能在人口层面广泛传播和扩大规模。显著的好处包括设定体育活动目标的能力，这些目标是令人愉快的，内在地激励着人们去追求，同时也避免了当前实践的有害影响（例如高失败率）。

This project aims to advance knowledge of open goals as a new goal-setting approach to optimise the adoption and maintenance of physical activity among insufficiently active individuals. This project expects to generate substantive insights into the mechanisms that explain why, when, and for whom open goals are particularly beneficial in this population. Expected outcomes include a theory of open goals that will inform physical activity promotion efforts, with the potential for broad population-level dissemination and scale-up. Significant benefits include the ability to set physical activity goals that are enjoyable and intrinsically motivating to pursue, while also avoiding detrimental effects of current practice (eg high failure rates).
