In the modern world of stress and inactivity there is an increasing need to assess the potential benefits of physical activity for our mental health. Physical Activity and Psychological Well-Being provides a research consensus on the relationship between physical exercise and aspects of mental health. Whilst reviewing and integrating relevant information, the book also considers physical activity in relation to the different aspects of mental health: anxiety, depression, mood and emotion, self-esteem, cognitive functioning, and psychological dysfunction."."
