Amcanion cyffredinol

Taught over two semesters, this module will provide year one students with a firm grounding in sport and exercise psychology, ahead of more specialist modules that feature in year two and year three of the degree programme. Embedded in theory and scientific research, this module will tackle questions such as "how do anxiety and arousal influence performance?", "how do positive emotions influence behaviour in sport and exercise?", "how do competition versus cooperation climates impact our feelings and actions?", "how do our perceptions influence action (and vice-versa)?"

Cynnwys cwrs

Sport and exercise psychology topics that will be covered in this module include: "stress, anxiety, arousal", "historical perspectives on stress and performance", "positive emotion", "social interdependence theory", "psychological profiling", "psychological skills", "achievement motivation", "embodied perception and cognition".
