exercise psychology
study of the influence that sport and exercise have on one's psychology and behaviour
sports psychology
"mind to body"-the study of the psych influence on psychological factors on sport behaviour" "body to mind" relationship
difference between exercise and sports psychology
the populations they serve, the type of physical activity, and the goals of the activity
5 components of health between death and perfect health (Greenberg and Pargman)
mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and social
active leisure
a positive experience, hobbies, playing music, exercise
passive leisure
listening to music, daydreaming
exercise statistics
more women exercise than men 3x a week highest: men 15-19 (73%), lowest: women over 65 (47%)
most common physical activities
1) walking
2) home exercise
3) biking
4) swimming
5) jogging
6) weight training
7) fishing
8) baseball/softball
study comparing health of canadian adolescents to that of adolescents in 10 european countries
decrease in % of canadians exercising two or more times outside of school, but an increase in intensive exercise more than 4 hrs/week. may be due to a movement toward more structured activities (team/club activities) , canadian youths were ranked in the mid range
isometric activity
exercise that involves the contraction of a muscle group against an immovable object without movement in the body
iotonic exericise
exercise that involves using weights or calisthenics to place tension on the muscle through the shortening or lengthening of the muscle group
isokinetic exercise
exercise that involves placing tension on a muscle group through a complete range of motion, most efficient for developing muscle strength and endurance
anaerobic
exercise, such as sprinting, in which intense effort is expended over a short period of time, resulting in an oxygen debt
aerobic exercise
such as jogging, that involves the increased consumption of oxygen over an extended period of time
anaerobic exercise
exercise such as sprinting in which intense effort is expended over a short period of time, resulting in oxygen debt (i.e. running to a base in baseball)
self esteem/self-concept
may not be necessary to know the exact variables that influence one's self esteem, but the perception of change, small but significant changes, larger for those who experienced an actual increase in fitness.
self-efficacy
an individual's perception of his or her ability to succeed at a particular task at a specific time. different from self confidence that is a global trait associated with overall performance expectations. one can be confident that they will be unsuccessful, SE involves an affirmation of performance capabilities
sources of efficacy expectations
performance accomplishments, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, emotional arousal
performance accomplishments
actual experiences of mastery, considered to be the most influential source of self-efficay
vicarious experience
experience that is gained through observing or visualizing others perform a skill, which can alert one to one's own capabilities and raise one's sense of self efficacy
verbal persuasion
to verbally persuade others that they have the skills to perform a particular task-that is, to talk them into it , can result in sustained and increased effort utility is predicted on a sense of realism (to promote an unrealistic sense of confidence in an individual who does not possess the necessary skills will likely result in a performance failure that serves to decrease SE and faith in verbal persuasion
emotional arousal
a source of efficacy expectation by which individuals assess their emotional level and evaluate their capabilities accordingly: for example, high levels of emotion may be thought to be debilitating and predictive in failure
sources of efficacy from highest to lowest
performance, vicarious, verbal, emotional
exercise and cognitive functioning
exercise, due to effect on the CNS, will initially improve attentional processes, however, as intensity or duration of the exercise increases, this will be negated by the effects of increasing muscular fatigue
meta-analysis by Etnier
further examined, concluded that acute exercise will have little impact on cognition, whereas chronic exercise that produces gains in fitness will improve cognition
anxiety & arousal and exercise
anxiety decreases in a linear fashion during exercise, whereas arousal increasing during exercise and decreases notably afterwards, effect is for both state and trait anxiety, anxiety is reduced both during and following exercise
depression and physical activity
phys activity can decrease non-clinical depression, both aerobic and anaerobic helpful, no evidence that it can help prevent relapse acute and chronic,
cancer and phys activity
+ corr, especially for men
psychological methods in sport
techniques such as relaxation, goal setting, and imagery which are used to develop psychological skills
psychological skills in sports
arousal or attentional control implemented to enhance performance
relaxation and exercise
PMR for physiological components, mental rehearsal and self-talk for cognitive
REBT
therapy w/ self-talk, modifying irrational thoughts by identifying patterns of faulty reasoning
absolute thinking "all or nothing"
overgeneralization-drawing conclusions based on a single event
catastrophization-ciewing minor concenrs as disasters
those who avoid exercise
low frustration tolerance, fear of failing, REBT helps these people
