In Class

Debate the following:

We propose that the normal title ‘sport and exercise psychology’ should be changed to ‘sport and physical activity psychology’.

Out of Class

Consult the web site of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences: http://www.bases.org.uk/. Consult the sections on accreditation and supervised experience in relation to the discipline of psychology. Provide a critique of how the requirements for competencies in sport related psychology compare to those for exercise related psychology. Compare the BASES approach to that of any other national association providing accreditation in sport and exercise psychology, for example:

North American: http://www.aaasponline.org/index.php

Australian: http://www.groups.psychology.org.au/csp/
