Development of a tool for quantifying need-supportive coaching in technology-mediated exercise classes

Technology-mediated interventions to promote physical activity are growing
in popularity and appear to be effective for supporting continued
adherence for some people.  One potential mechanism of impact is
the cultivation of motivation that is self-determined (i.e., autonomous),
which is posited to arise from the satisfaction of three basic
psychological needs: competence, relatedness, and autonomy. The Peloton
Instructor Needs-Supportive Coaching (PINC) tool was used to code 80
Peloton cycling classes across 4 different class types (Beginner, Power
Zone, Groove, and High-Intensity Interval Training) to quantify the
frequency of needs-supportive and needs-indifferent coaching within a
class.  This dataset provides the raw data for the 80 cycling
classes and the calculated percentages for aggregated coaching categories.
