Sport or exercise psychology.
Description The purpose of this assignment is to review the scientific literature on a selected topic (e.g., how an audience influences physical performance, psychological factors that influence injury rehabilitation, how coaching behaviors influence athlete motivation) or an issue that you will face in your chosen profession, whether that be a personal trainer, physical therapist, coach, etc. (e.g., how to motivate sedentary individuals, the best way to help an injured person adhere to their rehabilitation program, how to use imagery to improve performance). Your topic should fall under the scope of sport or exercise psychology, not physiology or athletic training (e.g., if your paper focuses on injury rehabilitation, you should not write in detail about the different types of knee injuries – focus instead on the psychological factors that affect rehabilitation).
