The 'feel-good' effect of physical activity is widely reported among participants.  Physical Activity and Psychological Well-Being represents a research consensus on the relationship between physical activity and aspects of mental health, providing an overview of the case for the role of exercise in the promotion of psychological well-being.  Topics covered include:

This book is invaluable reading for students and researchers working in the exercise, sport and health sciences, and for health and clinical psychologists.  It is also a foundation text for health promotion and health service professionals, particularly those working in the area of mental health.
