Awareness of the importance of exercise and physical activity to
optimal physical and mental health has never been greater. It is
widely acknowledged that physical inactivity is a leading cause of
death, yet statistics show less than 50% of Americans participate
in regular physical activity. This information highlights the
public health challenge of increasing participation in physical
activity to enhance physical health and to buoy the psychological
benefits associated with physical activity. The Oxford Handbook of
Exercise and Psychology is an authoritative and comprehensive
presentation of the breadth and depth of empirical contributions
utilizing state-of-the-science theories and approaches in exercise
psychology. Chapters are authored by leading investigators across
the globe who have made significant scientific contributions
addressing the behavioral aspects of physical activity. Sections of
the book address the effects of physical activity on mental health;
knowledge gathered utilizing psychobiological perspectives;
behavioral factors that impact exercise motivation; scientific
contributions addressing the physical activity benefits with
special populations, including individuals with physical
disabilities, older adults and cancer patients; and promising areas
for additional investigation. Each chapter presents a summary of
scientific advancements in the topic area as a foundation for
future investigation. Fueled by a broad range of disciplines and
interdisciplinary approaches, the field of exercise psychology is
growing, and this comprehensive handbook will be the perfect
resource for students, researchers, and physicians interested in
exercise motivation and the mental health benefits of physical
activity.
