Exploring sport and exercise psychology: Friends talking

Psychological factors can play a significant role in sport and exercise. In sport, psychological preparation could mean the difference between winning and losing, whilst in exercise psychological factors could dictate whether or not we decide to even start an exercise programme. What are the links between exercise and mental health and what does it really take to stick to a programme of regular physical activity?

This material forms part of The Open University module E233 Sport and exercise psychology: a case study approach.
