[03心-ポ-05]The Influence of Coaching Styles on Practitioners’ Experiences in PilatesA Qualitative Phenomenological Approach
*JEONG JIYUN1、Oh Kyung rok1 (1. KyungHee Univ.)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore how different coaching styles affect the lived experiences of Pilates practitioners. By applying a phenomenological approach, this study sought to understand how verbal and non-verbal coaching behaviors shape practitioners’ physical, emotional, and cognitive engagement during Pilates sessions.
Method: A total of eight adult Pilates practitioners with more than six months of training experience participated in this study. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure diverse experiences with different coaching styles (directive, supportive, and inquiry-based). Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological method to extract essential themes from participants’ narratives.
Result: First, directive coaching provided clarity and a sense of safety in movement performance but had negative effects on autonomy and motivation.Second, inquiry-based coaching enhanced self-awareness and active engagement, promoting greater cognitive and emotional immersion.Third, non-verbal elements (e.g., tone of voice, eye contact, and physical presence) significantly influenced trust, comfort, and satisfaction with the session.Fourth, participants reported that coaching style influenced their motivation, movement confidence, and body awareness during practice.
Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of coaching styles in shaping the qualitative experience of Pilates practitioners. Integrating coaching psychology into Pilates instruction can improve motivation, self-efficacy, and long-term engagement. This study contributes to the development of more participant-centered instructional models in mind-body exercise settings.
