The overall purpose of this module is to foster an in-depth understanding of the motivation-related determinants of participation, performance, and persistence in sport and exercise activities. In this module, the major theoretical frameworks and empirical findings relating to the study of motivation in the physical domain will be examined. The implications of this body of literature for sound interventions focused on the enhancement of physical activity will also be addressed.
Learning Outcomes
(1) integrate the major (theoretically-based) motivation constructs and processes assumed to be impacting behaviour in sport and exercise settings (2) interpret and critique original theoretically-based research on sport and exercise motivation (3) develop a theoretically-informed intervention to maximise motivation. (4) be able to synthesize and present, in an informed and informative manner, work on motivation in sport/exercise that has not been covered in the lecture.
