Description
Three main themes concerning the psychological aspects of physical activity and exercise are addressed in this book: the antecedent factors associated with the adoption and maintenance of exercise, the psychological consequences of exercise for normal and clinical populations and the intervention strategies for the individual and group that are designed to maintain or increase activity levels. The authors provide a comprehensive review of the research literature and bring together the fields of exercise science, psychology and public health into one volume for the first time.
