What do you think is the activity people spend most of their waking hours doing? Is your answer sitting? To put things in perspective, population-based studies indicate that we spend on average about 50% of our waking hours sitting. Sedentary behaviour such as sitting is linked with a multitude of adverse health outcomes such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, stroke, osteoporosis, depression and cancers that lead to premature mortality. Indeed, increasingly sedentary behaviour is ‘killing us softly’, which makes exercise crucial to our health and well-being across our lifespan.

Throughout this course, we will explore the psychology of exercise by examining the latest research and how we can translate these understandings into simple applications to encourage people around us to engage in regular exercise.

In this course, you will explore a range of topics such as social cognitive models of exercise behaviour; the role of autonomy in exercise promotion; affective responses to exercise; exercise affect and exercise adherence; implicit social cognition; fitness and cardiovascular reactivity to stress. Besides appreciating the relevant research, this course is also focused on the applications of exercise psychology in the real world. To achieve this, students will gain first-hand experience in laboratory sessions on how to apply exercise psychology in an exercise setting. Further, assessment in this course will be based fully on the experiences in the laboratory sessions so that learning outcomes relevant to the real life applications of exercise psychology.

Module failure that prevents you passing the year will require resit assessment and attendance at Supplementary Assessment Week (exact date TBC).
