Enhancing Motivation in Sport and Exercise Contexts PhD


Motivation has been extensively studied in sport and exercise settings, but we still do not systematically understand how to sustain exercise, physical activity, or sport participation. The proposed project will use quantitative methods (e.g., experimental and longitudinal designs) to integrate different ideas and theories (e.g., goal pursuit, effort, self-determination, affect) to identify novel motivational processes that can be applied to enhance sport and exercise experiences and behaviour.
