Self-Efficacy and Well-Being after Running an Extreme Obstacle Course: The Moderating Effect of Gender

The present study examined the psychological benefits of running extreme obstacle courses (EOCs). The results indicated that participating in an EOC was related to increased psychological well-being (PWB) and physical self-efficacy (PSE). Furthermore, gender moderated the relationship between post-race PSE and PWB change scores. Implications of these findings are discussed.
