Exercise Psychology

Exercise psychology is the study of how physical activity affects our mental well-being and behavior. It examines the motivations behind why people exercise, the benefits of physical activity on mood and stress levels, and how psychological factors can influence exercise habits. This field explores how factors like self-esteem, social interactions, and goal-setting interplay with exercise, helping individuals to adopt and maintain active lifestyles. Understanding these aspects can enhance fitness programs, promote healthier habits, and improve overall quality of life through better mental health and physical performance.
