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

该项目旨在促进对开放式目标的了解，将其作为一种新的目标设定方法，以优化缺乏活动的个人对体力活动的采用和维持。这个项目期望产生对机制的实质性见解，这些机制解释为什么、何时以及对谁开放目标在这一人群中特别有益。预期成果包括开放目标理论，它将为促进体力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。显著的好处包括能够设定令人愉快的、内在地激励追求的体力活动目标，同时也避免了当前练习的有害影响(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).
