Thank you, glad it’s of interest. And thanks for sharing.
Findings also suggest that online exercise platforms like Zwift can lead to identity continuity & gain sequentially rather than as separate pathways. I.e., participating in Zwift can help people continue as an exerciser/cyclist but also add new identities as a “Zwifter” & specific Zwift team member
Figure showing the different social identities and facilitators of these social identities.
3. These identities are facilitated by riding with others in real-time, interacting with others while riding, and chatting with others post-ride on social media platforms.
Key findings included that:
1. Zwift helped mid-life adults cope with changes and challenges associated with mid-life through the opportunity to socialise with others despite being physically alone.
2. Zwift could lead to 3 social identities.
