Sport and Exercise Psychology examines the mental processes, emotions, and behaviors of individuals engaged in physical activities, including competitive athletics, fitness programs, sports medicine, physical education, and wellness initiatives. Researchers in this field investigate the psychological, emotional, behavioral, and social factors that shape how participants interact with their sporting environments. This multidisciplinary work occurs within the Physical Activity and Sport Science research domain, which houses specialized teams like the Sports Medicine Psychology Laboratory (SMPL), the Youth Physical Activity Development research collective, and the Tucker Center focused on studying female athletes.
