Summary

This study looked at whether a planning technique called Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intentions (MCII) can boost university students' confidence in tennis training. Some students also got WhatsApp reminders before sessions. The trial involved 22 students and lasted four weeks. The goal was to see if simple digital reminders can help people stay motivated and feel more capable of sticking with exercise.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward simple, low-cost ways to help people stick with exercise programs.
What could go wrong
