SRL microanalysis interviews applied in each phase of the study

Study phaseSRL phaseSelf-regulatory subprocesses and questions from the semi-structured SRL microanalysis interviews 
A1, A3Forethought phase• Goal setting: “When you do muscle-strengthening exercises, do you set yourself any specific goals? If so, could you describe that goal in detail and how you plan to achieve it?”
• Planning: “What specific strategies or steps do you follow to ensure that muscle-strengthening exercises are performed correctly? How do you prepare to avoid possible difficulties?”
B1, B2Performance phase• Self-observation or metacognitive monitoring: “While performing muscular endurance exercises, what specific aspects do you focus on to ensure that you are performing them correctly?”
A2, A4Reflection phase• Self-evaluation: “How do you evaluate your performance after practicing muscular endurance exercises? What indicators or signs help you know whether you have achieved significant improvement?”
• Causal attributions: “What factors do you attribute your performance in the exercises to? Do you think it is due to your effort, to the strategies you used or to some other aspect?”
• Adaptive inferences: “Based on your current experience, what do you think you should change or improve to increase your performance in muscle-strengthening exercises in future sessions?”
