Psychology

Sport psychology. Sport psychology is an interdisciplinary science that draws on knowledge from the fields of kinesiology and psychology.

It involves the study of how psychological factors affect performance and how participation in sport and exercise affect psychological and physical factors.[1] In addition to instruction and training of psychological skills for performance improvement, applied sport psychology may include work with athletes, coaches, and parents regarding injury, rehabilitation, communication, team building, and career transitions. History[edit] Early history[edit] In its formation, sport psychology was primarily the domain of physical educators, not researchers, which can explain the lack of a consistent history.[2] Nonetheless, many instructors sought to explain the various phenomena associated with sport and physical activity and developed sport psychology laboratories.

The birth of sports psychology in Europe happened largely in Germany. 14.pdf (Objecto application/pdf) 2-Gomes & Cruz-TCP-Treino Desportivo.pdf (Objecto application/pdf)
