Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

The need to understand and predict adherence behaviour within sport and exercise domains is an increasingly important issue to professionals and academics in the area. It is, however, a complex area of study, and in recent years an emerging research focus on domains beyond conventional exercise adherence has significantly broadened the interest in this issue. This is the first book to pull together a wide range of current adherence themes from within sport, as well as exercise. It provides the reader with an understanding of the many theoretical approaches being used to investigate this area. Eminent experts from Europe and North America discuss how adherence is affected by motivation levels, social support and perceived vlue of the goal. Each chapter provides a theoretical framework and a range of practical implications for professionals. Topics covered include:

• adherence in primary health care exercise promotion schemes
• exercise adherence in clincal populations and children
• adherence to sport injury rehabilitation programes
• psychological preparation in sport
• methodological issues in research and applied practice

This volume is essential reading for sport and exercise psychologists, exercise and health researchers and students of health studies, sport science, physical education, leisure studies and psychology. It is a valuable resource for a range of health professionals, including physiotherapists, fitness consultants and personal trainers, and all those with an interest in, or need to understand, adherdnce behaviour in sport and exercise.
