The Psychology of Exercise: Integrating Theory and Practice, third edition, continues to weave together theory, research, application, and intervention to provide readers with a solid foundation in exercise psychology. In this accessible, user-friendly book, the authors apply prominent theories and models to actual situations encountered professionally. Real-world examples and new material keep the book relevant and up to date. Compelling graphs, models, other visuals, and effective pedagogical aids further enhance the material.
The chapters in Part I help readers understand and modify exercise behavior, while those in Part II discuss psychosocial influences and consequences of physical activity. Among the topics explored are the relationship between physical activity and cognitive function and the impact of exercise on self-esteem, stress, anxiety and depression, and emotional well-being. Chapters on social influences, body image, and health-related quality of life offer the latest information on these emerging areas of study.
Features of the third edition include a new chapter on exercise and cognition; new materials on motivational interviewing, cultural tailoring of physical activity interventions, developing physical activity action plans and implementation intentions, and evaluating physical activity interventions using RE-AIM; and updated references, glossary, and graphics.

Review:
This book is the best on the market, in my opinion. --Marcus Kilpatrick, University of South Florida

I am particularly impressed with the diversity that has been incorporated into the entire book. This is a huge selling point because diversity teaches readers to think outside their own experiences and often leads to better global citizens. . . . I believe the addition of the chapter on cognitive function has helped this book become even more relevant, as issues related to aging and those related to physical activity and cognition in children and adolescence are at the forefront of the western world's consciousness. --Lindsay Ross-Stewart, Saint Francis University

I absolutely love this book. I think it is extremely easy to incorporate into the classroom and lends itself to instruction and comprehension. --Melissa Murray, University of Southern Mississippi
