Description

This subject examines sport performance and exercise participation in relation to cognitive and social psychological constructs. It emphasises the utilisation of sport psychology for performance enhancement in sport and examines the behavioural responses involved in exercise, with an emphasis on how these responses influence future exercise adherence. Students learn how to implement relevant psychosocial theories in the delivery of sport and exercise, and recognise the role of physical activity in mental health and wellbeing.
