KINESIOL *720 / Social and Psychobiological Factors in Health and Exercise Psychology

3 unit(s)

S. Bray, K. Martin Ginis

Prerequisite(s): KINESIOL *715 

Physical activity is linked to numerous physiological and psychological benefits, yet the populations of industrialized nations are becoming increasingly sedentary. This course will explore empirical findings and methods examining mental health issues linked to physical activity participation including affective disorders and cognitive functioning as well as underlying biological processes theorized to account for these effects. The role of interpersonal forces and their interaction with behavioural and psychophysiological pathways to healthrelated outcomes will also be examined.
