The positive benefits of physical activity for physical and mental
health are now widely acknowledged, yet levels of physical
inactivity continue to be a major concern throughout the world.
Understanding the psychology of physical activity has therefore
become an important issue for scientists, health professionals and
policy-makers alike as they address the challenge of behaviour
change. Psychology of Physical Activity provides comprehensive and
in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of exercise psychology, from
mental health, to theories of motivation and adherence, and to the
design of successful interventions for increasing participation.
Now publishing in a fully revised, updated and expanded fourth
edition, Psychology of Physical Activity is still the only textbook
to offer a full survey of the evidence base for theory and practice
in exercise psychology, and the only textbook that explains how to
interpret the quality of the research evidence. As the field
continues to grow rapidly, the new edition expands the behavioural
science content of numerous important topics, including physical
activity and cognitive functioning, automatic and affective
frameworks for understanding physical activity involvement, new
interventions designed to increase physical activity (including use
of new technologies), and sedentary behaviour. A full companion
website offers useful features to help students and lecturers get
the most out of the book during their course, including
multiple-choice revision questions, PowerPoint slides and a test
bank of additional learning activities. Psychology of Physical
Activity is the most authoritative, engaging and up-to-date book on
exercise psychology currently available. It is essential reading
for all students working in behavioural medicine, as well as the
exercise and health sciences.
