About this title

Synopsis

Contributors utilize research from the medical sciences, psychology, sociology, physical education, and exercise and sport sciences to examine how the physical self motivates behavior and contributes to mental health. Focusing on both research and practical issues, chapters discuss such topics as physical self-perception measurement; research considerations; body image; social construction; role of sport and physical education in children's self-esteem; identity development; weight management; disability issues; and therapeutic effects of exercise.
