| Abstract | Purpose: Despite considerable interest in the effects of music in an exercise context, there is a dearth of research examining the use of music-videos. This is surprising given the ubiquity of this medium in exercise facilities. The present study sought to examine the impact of a music-video channel on the social process of exercising in a public exercise facility. Method: A grounded theory approach underpinned by pragmatism and symbolic interactionism was employed. Thirteen exercisers completed reflective diaries following each attendance at the facility over a 4-week period. Subsequently, 11 exercisers were interviewed regarding the impact of the music-video channel on the social process of exercising at the facility. Staff members’ perspectives were deemed important throughout the iterative process of data collection and analysis. Accordingly, four staff members were interviewed with reference to the social process of managing an exercise facility that featured a music-video channel. Data were analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding. Results: The results provide support for a three-stage substantive theory that commences with the content of the music-video channel. The second stage depicts a series of moderators (e.g., exercise factors, temporal factors) that revolve around the core category, appraisal of the appropriateness of channel content. Lastly, a range of effects pertaining to exercisers and facility staff are predicted, and relevant social processes are expounded. Conclusion: Given the prevalence of music-video channels in contemporary exercise and health facilities, the substantive theory bears relevance to exercisers, health/performance practitioners, and researchers. © 2020 The Author(s).

The present study sought to examine the impact of a music-video channel on the social process of exercising in a public exercise facility. The construction of such a theory would inform health practitioners use of music-video interventions guide exercisers music-video selections and advance this nascent line of scientific inquiry. At this point the collection of new data seemed counterproductive because it failed to generate additional insights related to how a music-video channel influenced the social processes of those using and working in an exercise facility. When exercisers appraised the content of the music-video channel as inappropriate and experienced undesirable effects social interaction would follow: Oh they exercisers would tell us staff members if there was something music-video on which they didnt approve. To this end the proposed model extends our understanding of audiovisual applications in an exercise context by shedding light on the undesirable effects that a music-video channel might elicit when applied in a real-world context.
