Adherence Issues in Sport and Exercise pulls together a wide range
of current adherence themes to provide an overview of the many
different theoretical approaches currently being used. Each chapter
provides a theoretical framework and a range of practical
implications for professionals. Written by eminent experts from
Europe and North America, they discuss how adherence is affected by
a wide variety of personal, situational, and programme variables.
This volume is essential reading for sport and exercise
psychologists, exercise and health researchers and students of
health studies, sport science, physical education, leisure studies
and psychology.
