The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between ultramarathon running, grit-passion, and grit-perseverance. A total of 153 ultramarathon runners (age = 40.5 ± 9.0 years) answered demographic questions and completed a survey measuring subcomponents of grit via Google Forms. Grit was measured with the 12-item Grit Scale consisting of two subscales: consistency of interest (grit-passion) and perseverance of effort (grit-perseverance). The ultramarathon runners were recruited through emails from race directors, Facebook groups, and email invitations from the primary investigator. Statistical analyses were performed using Pearson product-moment correlations and a one-way ANOVA. Significance was set to p < .05. There was a positive correlation between number of years running and grit-passion ( r = .17, p = .039). On average, participants had spent 14.4 ± 9.8 years running and had competed in ultramarathons for 4.3 ± 3.5 years. A positive correlation was found between the number of kilometres run per week and grit-passion ( r = .22, p = .007). Participants, on average, ran 57.9 ± 21.4 kilometres per week. For grit-perseverance, there was a statistically significant difference between the short and medium distance groups of ultramarathon runners when compared to the group of runners completing timed ultramarathon races ( p = .002). Failure to complete their last ultramarathon was not significantly associated with grit-passion ( p = .37) or grit-perseverance ( p = .92).

超级马拉松运动员的毅力和毅力

本研究的目的是调查超级马拉松赛跑、毅力激情和毅力之间的关系。共有 153 名超级马拉松选手（年龄 = 40.5 ± 9.0 岁）回答了人口统计问题，并通过 Google 表单完成了一项测量毅力子成分的调查。毅力是用 12 项毅力量表衡量的，该量表由两个子量表组成：兴趣的一致性（毅力-激情）和努力的毅力（毅力-毅力）。超级马拉松选手是通过赛事总监、Facebook 群组的电子邮件和主要调查员的电子邮件邀请招募的。使用 Pearson 积矩相关性和单向方差分析进行统计分析。显着性设置为 p < .05。跑步年数与毅力热情之间呈正相关（r = .17，p = .039）。一般，参与者花费了 14.4 ± 9.8 年的跑步时间，并参加了 4.3 ± 3.5 年的超级马拉松比赛。每周跑步公里数与毅力激情之间呈正相关（r = .22，p = .007）。参与者平均每周跑 57.9 ± 21.4 公里。在毅力方面，与完成计时超级马拉松比赛的跑者组相比，短距离和中距离超马拉松跑者组之间存在统计学上的显着差异 (p = .002)。未能完成最后一次超级马拉松与毅力激情 (p = .37) 或毅力 (p = .92) 没有显着相关性。22，p = .007）。参与者平均每周跑 57.9 ± 21.4 公里。在毅力方面，与完成计时超级马拉松比赛的跑者组相比，短距离和中距离超马拉松跑者组之间存在统计学上的显着差异 (p = .002)。未能完成最后一次超级马拉松与毅力激情 (p = .37) 或毅力 (p = .92) 没有显着相关性。22，p = .007）。参与者平均每周跑 57.9 ± 21.4 公里。在毅力方面，与完成计时超级马拉松比赛的跑者组相比，短距离和中距离组的超级马拉松跑者之间存在统计学上的显着差异 (p = .002)。未能完成最后一次超级马拉松与毅力激情 (p = .37) 或毅力 (p = .92) 没有显着相关性。
