You will also study human behaviour in the exercise environment. You’ll look at the relationship between exercise and health and wellbeing, and how exercise could improve mental health. You will investigate how applied sport psychology can enhance sport training and performance. You’ll learn how to evaluate and make informed judgements about the psychological factors that affect sports performance.
