ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between running commitment, health locus of control and running behavior. Subjects were 142 high school runners who participated in the camp. Results indicate commitment to running is significantly related to acutual running mileage and several other peformance factors. Runners with higher weekly mileage had better running times. Runners who had higher health locus of control scores had lower number of injuries and were more likely to report meeting camp goals. Results suggest that athletes with a greater commitment to run may also demonstrate behaviors associated with better racing performance.
