Produktinformationen zu „Sport and Physical Activity for Mental Health (PDF)“
With approximately 1 in 6 adults likely to experience a significant
mental health problem at any one time (Office for National
Statistics), research into effective interventions has never been
more important. During the past decade there has been an increasing
interest in the role that sport and physical activity can play in
the treatment of mental health problems, and in mental health
promotion. The benefits resulting from physiological changes during
exercise are well documented, including improvement in mood and
control of anxiety and depression. Research also suggests that
socio-cultural and psychological changes arising from engagement in
sport and physical activity carry valuable mental health benefits.
Sport and Physical Activity for Mental Health is an
evidence-based practical guide for nurses, allied health
professionals, social workers, physical activity leaders, and sport
coaches. The authors provide comprehensive analysis of a broad
range of client narratives, integrating theory and the latest
research to explore the effectiveness of various interventions. The
book offers readers detailed recommendations, suggestions, and
ideas as to how sport and physical activity opportunities can be
tailored to provide the greatest mental health benefits.
