Exercise Psychology, Second Edition, delves into the psychological and biological impacts of exercise and physical activity, exploring their subsequent influence on mood and mental well-being. Building upon the first edition, this text incorporates the latest research by leading experts in exercise adoption and adherence, with a particular focus on the emerging field of lifestyle physical activity. Unlike other exercise psychology textbooks grounded in social psychology, this edition takes a psychobiological approach, examining the inner workings of the body and their effects on behavior. Readers gain insights into the biological foundations of exercise psychology in the broader contexts of cognitive, social, and environmental influences. By exploring the biological mechanisms associated with behavior, Exercise Psychology, Second Edition, challenges students and researchers to critically assess less-explored methods for positive behavior change.

This second edition introduces three new chapters on exercise and cognitive function, energy and fatigue, and pain, along with thoroughly revised chapters on exercise correlates, neuroscience, stress, depression, and sleep. Authors Buckworth and Dishman, joined by newly added authors O'Connor and Tomporowski, offer subject area expertise, presenting a comprehensive examination of the relationships between exercise and psychological constructs. The book presents findings on classic and cutting-edge topics with clarity, featuring relevant quotes, sidebars, suggested readings, and a glossary to guide students. Exercise Psychology, Second Edition, provides an in-depth exploration of the psychological precursors and consequences of physical activity, elucidating the mental health benefits of exercise and factors influencing adoption and adherence. With a balance between the biological foundations of the brain and behavior and insights from behavioristic, cognitive, and social approaches, this thoroughly revised and updated edition offers a comprehensive resource for students and researchers in the field.
