In what is one of the most extensive and all-encompassing books of
its kind, this book provides readers with an advanced understanding
of the major themes that reflect the development and current status
of sport and exercise psychology today. The editors invited nearly
50 of the world's leading experts on the key aspects of sport and
exercise psychology to examine and explain the latest findings and
newest directions of research. Unlike other publications that lean
heavily toward either theoretical or applied approaches, these 27
chapters present a blend of both. Section I features the major
psychological processes that have been the subject of extensive
theoretical consideration and research examination in the context
of sport. Section II highlights topics that have been addressed
systematically in relation to the application of sport psychology.
Section III focuses on the rapidly growing area of exercise
psychology. Section IV details a number of specific themes and
particular populations that are of special interest in sport
psychology. The contributors represent four different continents
and their insights and experiences reflect sport's continuing
globalisation. Sport and exercise psychology continues to grow in
many countries and regions of the world, and the diversity of the
contributors to this book enables readers to make comparisons
between the way psychological processes function in different
cultures.
