emotion, emotion regulation, coping, self-confidence, anxiety,
imagery, performance profiling and leadership development in
players and coaches. Exercise is typically linked to positive
psychological states and three chapters review this effect. A
chapter focuses on the influence of exercise on self-esteem while
the next chapter looks at the use of music and a further chapter
looks at dysfunctional effects including addictive states. A final
