Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
These constraints imposed on the body during the preparation, participation and recovery of this type of effort have an impact on multiple aspects of the individual (physiological, psychological, neurological...). Some studies have made it possible in each of the fields to advance the current knowledge about the trail-running environment. However, there are very few links between variables from different fields of research, even though these links are at the origin of the complex individual responses observed in the field.
Therefore it seems important to study the practice of trail running and its consequences on the individual, relying on a systemic approach of the individual who studies how psychological phenomena, physiological and cerebral interactions to predict behaviour and its health consequences.
The biopsychosocial models are based on this systemic approach and postulate that the perception of the individual's effort would be the main limit to the continuity of effort, performance because it causes the intensity to decrease - or even stop the effort - if this sensation becomes too strong.
Consequently, the study of certain interventions aimed at reducing this perception of effort, such as the one proposed in this project, seems to be an essential step to propose to the practitioners of this type of sport strategies allowing to practice in a healthy and efficient way.

Internal discourses
Introduction to internal discourses with a brief definition and key elements for implementation.
Internal discourses
This intervention will take place following the randomization performed at the V1 visit. It will be held in videoconference, will be led by a professional of the training field, specialist of the trail activity and trained in the use of mental strategies
Non-internal discourses
Introduction to the risks associated with the practice of activity in the mountain environment and practical tips to prevent the risks
Non internal discourses
This intervention will take place following the randomization performed at the V1 visit. It will be held in videoconference, and will be conducted by a professional of the training field, specialist of the trail activity and coach of mountain guide
