About the lecture
In this lecture, we think about how people’s relationship with exercise can be improved, focusing in particular on: (i) the three basic psychological needs as competence, autonomy and relatedness, in the context of sport and exercise; (ii) Edmunds’ research on the impact of exercise prescriptions on wellbeing, finding that mental health status was more positive after the study period; (iii) the role that productive, motivational interviewing played in improving the mental health and motivations to exercise, of the participants in Edmunds’ study; (iv) the effectiveness of rational, emotive behaviour therapy (REBT) on people suffering with exercise addiction.
