SCOPE
This course is designed to introduce cadets to the psychology of physical activity and exercise. It starts by providing definitional clarity of terms and concepts associated with exercise, as well as a review of the generally accepted guidelines for physical activity, the components of health-related fitness, and the principles of exercise. The course examines the relationship between physical activity and a number of variables including cognitive functioning, mood, self-esteem, psychobiological outcomes, and negative behaviors to include exercise dependence, steroid abuse, and eating disorders. Individual correlates of exercise including behavioral, psychological, demographic and environmental influences are examined in depth. Cadets explore diverse theory regarding why individuals do or do not embrace a physically active lifestyle, and identify intervention programs to increase exercise levels.
