Book Moderation Effect of Anxiety on the Relationship Between Exercise and Self esteem

Download or read book Moderation Effect of Anxiety on the Relationship Between Exercise and Self esteem written by Nader Toutounji and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical activity has been known to have a positive effect on self-esteem but not enough is known about the mechanism of change. The Exercise-Self-esteem model (EXSEM) postulates that this effect is mediated by physical indices such as physical self-perception and physical self-efficacy. However, there are no studies that include mood variables such as anxiety as possible moderator variables. The aim of this study was to test for a moderation effect of anxiety in the relationship between exercise and self-esteem while controlling for physical indices. One hundred and seventy five Lebanese adults (77 males, 98 females, Mean age: 26.87, Range: 19-35) were asked to complete five valid and reliable tests that measured global self-esteem (GSES), state trait anxiety (STAI), physical self-perception (PSPP), perceived physical ability (PPA) and physical activity (IPAQ). Results showed that men scored higher on all variables except STAI. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the variables ...

Book The Exercise Effect on Mental Health

Download or read book The Exercise Effect on Mental Health written by Henning Budde and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Exercise Effect on Mental Health contains the most recent and thorough overview of the links between exercise and mental health, and the underlying mechanisms of the brain. The text will enhance interested clinicians’ and researchers’ understanding of the neurobiological effect of exercise on mental health. Editors Budde and Wegner have compiled a comprehensive review of the ways in which physical activity impacts the neurobiological mechanisms of the most common psychological and psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. This text presents a rigorously evidence-based case for exercise as an inexpensive, time-saving, and highly effective treatment for those suffering from mental illness and distress.

Book Patient Treatment Adherence

Download or read book Patient Treatment Adherence written by Hayden B. Bosworth and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book summarizes the adherence literature for a number of specific health behaviors and populations. It provides a comprehensive source on the conceptualization, interventions, and measurement of treatment adherence and a synthesis of the research across demographic and chronic diseases. The text presents problems associated with treatment adherence; theoretical models that have commonly been used to understand, predict, and/or improve adherence; adherence with specific behaviors including exercise, diet, rehabilitation, medication, and psychological therapies; and strategies in enhancing adherence. Because chronic diseases involve similar behaviors, the handbook is organized by specific behaviors and special populations, and not by disease. Every chapter is sub-organized by specific diseases to ensure easy access for the readers and features a discussion of adherence across demographic and chronic conditions, a review of previous interventions directed at the particular behavior or population, questions and scoring algorithms for widely used measures of treatment adherence, a discussion of the clinical research, and where appropriate, policy implications. Patient Treatment Adherence addresses: practical recommendations to improve adherence; the impact of non-adherence including costs and health-related quality of life; methodological issues such as assessing cost-effectiveness; and the use of technological advances to improve adherence. Intended for health service professionals, health, clinical, social, and cognitive psychologists, primary care physicians, pharmacists, and policy-makers, this text is also an excellent resource for graduate courses on health psychology and public health.

Book Applied Exercise Psychology

Download or read book Applied Exercise Psychology written by Selen Razon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Exercise Psychology emphasizes the application of evidence-based knowledge drawn from the fields of exercise psychology, health psychology, clinical and counseling psychology, and exercise physiology for physical activity behavior change. The book provides readers with: theoretical bases for understanding and promoting physical activity behavior; interventions to use for facilitating physical activity behavior change and the tools for measuring the effectiveness of these interventions; cross-cultural considerations for practitioners to ensure multicultural competency; considerations to guide best practices with special populations (e.g., persons with medical conditions and persons with mental health conditions); overall applied implications and future directions. The collection builds a bridge between up-to-date research findings, relevant field experiences, and applied implications. This is the first book to cover such breadth of topics in applied exercise psychology, with chapters bringing often overlooked issues to the attention of practitioners to promote not only evidence-based practice but also responsible ethics and referral.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the interrelationships between diet, exercise, work engagement, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and motivation. Responses were gathered from 193 full time employees in the United States. Correlation, regression, and moderation analyses were conducted to ascertain the nature of the relationships. Overall, physical activity was found to be directly related to work engagement. Specifically, participants reporting higher levels of physical activity also reported higher levels of work engagement. Additionally, diet was significantly related to physical activity, self-esteem, and self-efficacy such that a healthier diet was associated with higher levels of all three of these variables. This research provides reasons for organizations to take greater interest in the wellbeing of employees.
