Sport and Exercise Psychology
Sport and Exercise Psychology is the scientific study of how people’s behaviour, cognition, and emotions are affected by sport and physical activity. It focuses on psychological strategies and techniques to help athletes and physically active individuals reach their maximum performance potential, as well as to enhance physical activity participation and enjoyment. The application of sport and exercise psychology can help people overcome mental blocks, develop psychological skills, and achieve their goals. It can also provide help with issues such as stress, burnout, and disordered eating. Sport and Exercise Psychology has become an increasingly important field in recent years, with research that has been used to guide physical activity and sport participation to help maximize the physical and psychological benefits of exercise.
