Sports Health Behaviour

The introductory lecture discusses the course course course, the format of lectures and classes, the course requirements and the final exam. Students are introduced to the psychological and social understanding of the concepts of health and disease in the context of sport. Key models of health psychology (biomedical and biopsychosocial) are being looked at, as well as their application to athletes’ health perceptions, behaviours and recovery processes. The lecture analyses attitudes towards the experience of illness and trauma.

Students are introduced to the concept of self-efficacy (self-efficacy) and its role in promoting health behaviours. The theoretical basis of Albert Bandura’s self-efficacy within the framework of socially cognitive theory is considered. Looks at the factors that shape and influence self-efficacy (experience, modelling, social support and emotional state). Strategies to strengthen self-efficacy in sport and physical activity are described.

Lectures analyse key factors affecting the health of a person, especially an athlete, from a psychological, social and biological perspective. Preventative health behaviour and lifestyle and behavioural factors (physical activity, sleep, nutrition, harmful habits) are considered, as well as social factors (the role of family, team, coaches and society). Health risk factors and protective factors for athletes are being looked at.

The lecture looks at key behavioural change patterns (Transportetic Model, Health confidence Model, theory of planned behaviors and behavioral intentions) that are used in health psychology and the context of sport to understand and influence athlete health-enhancing behaviors. Behavioural change phases, motivational dynamics and factors that hinder or contribute to long-term behavioural changes are analysed.

In the lecture, students familiarize themselves with key motivational theories applied in sports and health psychology to understand the health drivers of athletes and physically active people. Internal and external motivation dynamics, self-determination theory (self-definition theory) and achievement motivation theory (Achievement motivation theory) and target orientation teroia (goal orientation theory) are discussed.

In the lecture, students learn the principles of a semi-structured interview in order to practically assess and analyse the motivation of individuals for physical activity, evaluate the significant dimensions, personality and environmental factors of an individual in physical activity, identify aspects of self-monitoring that will contribute to strengthening the physical activity habit.

The lecture will look at biological, physiological, psychological and social factors that influence an individual’s motivation to initiate and maintain physical activity regularly. The problem-solving therapy model is outlined in the context of starting and maintaining physical activity.
