to optimise athletic performance by studying the psychology behind sport at Roehampton. You will explore key factors affecting sports performance, such as mental toughness, self-confidence, motivation, stress, concentration and the psychology of sport injury. Human performance in sport and exercise is based on three areas – body chemistry (physiology); the physical demands on the body (biomechanics); and the mind’s response (psychology).
On this course, you will gain in-depth knowledge of how psychology underpins sport and exercise, by exploring the mind, brain, behaviour and experience, and the complex interactions between these elements. This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society, so you have the option of becoming a graduate member of the BPS in preparation for your professional career. We offer a range of innovative modules, such as Mind, Body, and Brain, where you will learn how the brain, nervous system and other physiological systems affect, and are affected by, mental functioning and behaviour; Psychology of Peak Performance, where you will learn the fundamental issues related to optimal athlete performance; and Applied Biomechanics, where you will gain first-hand experience in the laboratory to understand human motion. - see more at: https://www.roehampton.ac.uk/undergraduate-courses/sport-psychology/
