Applied exercise psychology: psychological approaches to movement and health
- Sport and Exercise
About
Whilst sport and exercise psychologists have traditionally focused on high performance sport, there is a growing interest in recent years on the application of psychology to improve physical activity engagement for the general public.
This event is open to members of either BPS or the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences and will discuss the application of "exercise psychology" within varied contexts, from the fitness industry, to health contexts, to weight management.
Through case examples and practical insights, we hope to equip delegates with an understanding of how psychologists might play a role in promoting a healthy relationship with movement and an appreciation of the complexities of "exercise" for different groups.
The session will be relevant both for trainee sport and exercise psychologists looking to increase their physical activity portfolio, and for psychologists from other fields looking to upskill in the area of physical activity and health.
