Written by an eminent group of international experts this volume presents a comprehensive summary of the most recent advances in the psychology of sport and exercise. The volume is divided into two sections. Section I focuses on conceptual advances and covers role perceptions in sport (Chapter 1) and the link between identity and disability sport (Chapter 2). Chapter 3 provides a comprehensive discussion of personality-trait-like individual differences in athletes. Chapter 4 presents a life-span approach to promote physical activity. The impact of group cohesion on sport and exercise has been summarised in Chapter 5, and Chapter 6 concentrates on the maintenance of physical activity. Section II contains chapters that focus on the link between well-being, sport and exercise (Chapter 7-9). Chapter 10 focuses on the effects of a single wheelchair sports session on cognitions and behaviour followed by a comprehensive review of the psychological stress in volleyball (Chapter 11).
