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.
Download or read book The Effects of a Self determination Theory Based Exercise Intervention on Physical Activity and Psychological Variables in Sedentary Overweight Or Obese Women written by Ya-Ting Hsu and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: There is epidemiological evidence for a strong association between obesity and insufficient leisure-time physical activity and low levels of occupational activity in industrialized societies. Women are more likely to be physically inactive and overweight, and thus, we need an effective approach using behavioral theories to help sedentary overweight/obese women adopt and maintain regular exercise. Project CHANGE (to being a Confident, Healthy, And Goal--directed Exerciser) is an 8-week intervention with 4-week follow-up that targeted constructs from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and addressed both behavioral strategies and physical skills. A total of 25 eligible participants were enrolled in Project CHANGE and were randomized to two treatment conditions: Self-Determination Theory-based exercise training plus behavioral intervention (SD group) or standard care (SC group) with traditional supervised exercise training. The final sample size was 21 (NSD = 11; NSC = 10). There were 2 dropouts from each group. Participants completed fitness assessments and questionnaires to measure physical activity, quality of life, depressive symptoms, SDT constructs, and other established psychological mediators of exercise, such as self-efficacy and goal setting. The results showed that the weekly energy expenditure did not differ significantly between the groups at post-intervention when baseline PA was controlled. However, the majority of the participants in the SD group remained active at the 4-week follow-up assessment and met the public health PA recommendation. The treatment effects on the psychological variables were limited when controlling for baseline values. For both groups, integrated regulation, perceived autonomy support, and exercise goal-setting significantly increased over time. Exercise planning had a tendency to increase, but not significantly. Scheduling self-efficacy was significantly higher in the SD group than the SC group, regardless of time. In the follow-up analysis, we categorized all the participants into two groups based upon exercise adherence, defined as exercising>= 150 min/week at the 4-week follow-up (i.e., adherent group and non-adherent group). Participants in the adherent group had significantly greater autonomous motivation (i.e., intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, and identified regulation), scheduling and coping self-efficacies, and self-regulatory techniques (i.e., goal-setting and planning) compared to the non-adherent group. Confidence and ability to self-regulate were important for exercise adherence. Goal-setting was the most influential predictor among these variables. The results show promise and warrant additional testing of Project CHANGE as a method to help overweight or obese women start and further maintain exercise behavior. A higher fidelity SDT intervention with larger sample size is necessary to examine the treatment effect and the proposed SDT causal pathways.

Download or read book Group Dynamics in Exercise and Sport Psychology written by Mark R. Beauchamp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can a better understanding of group dynamics raise individual and team athletic performance or improve the outcomes of exercise interventions? Much human behaviour in sport and exercise settings is embedded within groups, where individuals’ cognitions, emotions, and behaviours influence and are influenced by other group members. Now in a fully revised, updated, and expanded second edition, Group Dynamics in Exercise and Sport Psychology explores the unique psychological dynamics that emerge in sport and exercise groups. It provides a clear and thorough guide to contemporary theory, research, and applied practice, covering core themes and cutting-edge topics as well as highlighting directions for future research. The book is organised into five thematic sections: Part 1: The Self in Groups Part 2: Leadership in Groups Part 3: Group Environment Part 4: Motivation in Groups Part 5: Socio-Environmental Issues in Groups This new edition includes seven completely new chapters, exploring important emerging issues such as social identity, the family, co-ordination and shared knowledge within sport teams, the group as a vehicle for facilitating individual behavior change, social support and emotion regulation, peer leadership, and cultural perspectives in relation to group dynamics. No other book on group dynamics in sport or exercise offers such a close examination of the evidence base, and therefore Group Dynamics in Exercise and Sport Psychology is important reading for all students, researchers, or practitioners working in sport or exercise psychology, kinesiology, sport and exercise science, sports coaching, or physical education.

Chapters are authored by leading investigators across the globe who have made significant scientific contributions addressing the behavioral aspects of physical activity. Sections of the book address the effects of physical activity on mental health; knowledge gathered utilizing psychobiological perspectives; behavioral factors that impact exercise motivation; scientific contributions addressing the physical activity benefits with special populations, including individuals with physical disabilities, older adults and cancer patients; and promising areas for additional investigation. Each chapter presents a summary of scientific advancements in the topic area as a foundation for future investigation. Fueled by a broad range of disciplines and interdisciplinary approaches, the field of exercise psychology is growing, and this comprehensive handbook will be the perfect resource for students, researchers, and physicians interested in exercise motivation and the mental health benefits of physical activity.

Download or read book Doing Exercise Psychology written by Mark B. Andersen and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, “If exercise could be packaged into a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed and beneficial medicine in the nation.” Yet the incorporation of physical activity into a regular routine proves difficult for many. Bringing together a field of experts, Doing Exercise Psychology uses applied theories alongside authentic client interactions to address the challenging psychological components of physical activity. Doing Exercise Psychology helps students understand how to build connections with individual clients, strengthen the professional relationship through listening, and understand clients’ needs. The text features diverse topics, bridging health psychology and exercise psychology and demonstrating the increasingly important role of physical activity in overall wellness and health. The first chapter is devoted to the development of mindfulness as a practitioner, while another addresses the difficulties professionals encounter with their own inactivity, encouraging self-reflection in order to be more helpful and open with clients. A key feature of many chapters in Doing Exercise Psychology is the in-the-trenches dialogue between practitioner and client, accompanied by follow-up commentary on what went right and what went wrong in particular sessions. Through these real-world scenarios, students will witness firsthand the methods that are most effective in communicating with clients. The text also explores complex questions such as these: • What are the implications and consequences of using exercise as a component of psychological therapies? • How can practitioners help clients with impaired movement abilities as a result of chronic conditions or illness embrace physical activity as part of their therapy or their lives? • How can exercise be incorporated in therapies to change nutrition, smoking, and alcohol habits? • Why are some exercise protocols that are extremely effective for some but not for others? • How can relationships, interrelatedness, and attunement to others be vehicles for healthy change in whatever kind of therapy is being done? The book is arranged so that information flows progressively, covering major themes early and then applying them to the field. Part I introduces the relationship-building motif by covering the variety of relationships that one might find in exercise and physical activity settings. Part II addresses specific conditions and behavior change, with suggestions for encouraging activity in those who are also working to quit smoking, reduce alcohol consumption, or modify their nutrition habits. Part III deals directly with chronic and major medical conditions that professionals will contend with on a regular basis, including cancer, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis. Part IV delves into the dark side of exercise, such as overtraining, exercise dependence, and eating disorders. A growing and exciting area of study, exercise psychology covers all the psychosocial, intra- and interpersonal, and cultural variables that come into play when people get together and exercise. Students and practitioners who work with individuals in exercise settings will find Doing Exercise Psychology a vital resource to refer to repeatedly in their practice.
