5 out of 5 stars A national concensus on physical activity and mental health   October 19, 2003
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book was developed as part of a UK national concensus exercise to synthesise the growing global literature in this area. It includes 6 chapters written by international experts on: anxiety and stress (Adrian Taylor: Exeter University), depression (Nanette Mutrie - Glasgow University), self-esteem and self-perceptions (Ken Fox - Bristol University), mood and affect (Stuart Biddle - Loughborough, cognitive functioning (Steve Boutcher - Uni of New South Wales, Australia), and dysfunction (exercise dependence)(Atilla Szabo - Nottingham Trent University). Each chapter concludes with a summary on what we know, what we need to know , and the implications for practitioners. In summary, it is an essential read for undergraduates, post-graduates, policy makers and practitioners.


4 out of 5 stars Informative, contemporary, precise and easy to use.   February 4, 2002
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

For those involved or interested in this field, this book is an excellent read. It has taken a highly contemporary topic and applies psychological theories and views to issues which affect many of us today. The fact that so many people in the population choose NOT to exercise despite high profile campaigns, is an issue that both the medical and fitness industries are well aware. This is both informative to degree level, but is not patronising to those who are simply interseted in the psychology of the human population and their own health. In a growing area of research, this book breaks the surface and makes a good start on finding out the deep reasons behind both our obsession with and contrasting lack of interest in exercise.
