How to Increase Physical Activity and Reduce Sedentary Behaviour serves as an important source concerning all things psychological in the study of physical activity for health. This includes the mental health outcomes of physical activity, the determinants of physical activity, and interventions designed to change levels of physical activity. While comprehensive textbooks have their place, there is also a need for a more succinct and practical book describing important psychological constructs and how they can be applied to increase physical activity. Behaviour change does not occur in a vacuum. We also need to apply psychology within certain settings and practices. How to Increase Physical Activity and Reduce Sedentary Behaviour presents the '8 best investments' proposed by the International Society for Physical Activity and Health and applied important psychological constructs and issues to each context. This cutting edge book has been developed to assist individuals looking to change their activity levels, as well as those attempting to change behaviours in others. It is designed to better understand the psychological principles underpinning physical activity for health. This new, practical guidebook delivers an applied emphasis on helping those working with individuals in health behaviour change, whilst also being accessible to members of the general public who want to know more about how to increase their physical activity. Including a lot of applied examples, case studies, and scenarios that bring the psychology concepts to life, How to Increase Physical Activity and Reduce Sedentary Behaviour will be centred around different settings where behaviour change can take place.
