Group Dynamics in Exercise and Sport Psychology
by
Group Dynamics in Exercise and Sport Psychology explores the unique psychological dynamics that emerge in sport and exercise groups. It provides a clear and thorough guide to contemporary theory, research, and applied practice, covering core themes and cutting-edge topics as well as highlighting directions for future research. Much human behaviour in sport and exercise settings is embedded within groups, where individuals' cognitions, emotions, and behaviours influence and are influenced by other group members. Now in a fully revised and updated third edition, Group Dynamics in Exercise and Sport Psychology sheds new light on the psychology of groups in exercise and sport settings, providing an entirely new set of perspectives on the theory and research applied to groups in exercise and sport settings. No other book on group dynamics in sport or exercise offers such a close examination of the evidence base, and therefore Group Dynamics in Exercise and Sport Psychology is important reading for all students, researchers, or practitioners working in sport or exercise psychology, kinesiology, sport and exercise science, sports coaching, or physical education.

Strength Training and Exercise Prescription for Rehabilitation Professionals
by
Strength Training and Exercise Prescription for Rehabilitation Professionals is a modern, evidence-based, therapeutic exercise textbook written for clinicians, by a clinician. The content aims to fill any gaps in exercise knowledge and truly highlights the application and integration of progressive resistance training into the rehabilitation setting. This book delivers a vast, well-researched exercise library and provides sound guidance on developing a comprehensive exercise program, including exercise selection, prescription, and dosing for any individual. Strength Training and Exercise Prescription for Rehabilitation Professionals details a variety of progressions and regressions that allow a primary movement pattern - the squat, deadlift, bridge, push, pull, and carry - to be performed by individuals of all ages, body types, and experience levels. It considers specific factors that apply to injured populations, like pain, phase of healing, pre-requisite range of motion, and strength requirements. The exercise chapters feature many pieces of resistance training equipment, but also explain how to perform and modify bodyweight exercises to achieve the desired training effect, as access to equipment often varies. High-quality images are paired with step-by-step, written explanations, and valuable coaching cues aim to aid instruction and execution. In addition, it also highlights current evidence for rehabilitation of specific diagnoses, including Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, lower back pain, patella, and Achilles tendinopathy. This textbook is an excellent resource for new clinicians and seasoned professionals who desire concise, factual guidance and reference to support the development of their rehabilitative exercise programs. It would be a worthwhile addition to the curriculum of any physical therapy, chiropractic, or athletic training program, but is also appropriate for anyone that may interact closely with rehabilitation clinicians, like strength and conditioning coaches, personal trainers, exercise physiologists, and other fitness professionals with one common goal: improve quality of care and maximize patient outcomes through exercise.
