| Abstract | This lecture is intended as an introduction to sport psychology and imparts knowledge on selected areas of the subject. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Students are given insight into different work areas of sport psychology. In order to understand what «sport psychology» is, it is necessary to explain the essence and tasks of sport psychology and what it relates to, and to work out an underlying basis for key topics, such as cognition and emotions. Students' expertise is furthered by presenting and providing more in-depth treatment of additional topics of sport psychology. Selected intervention forms are intended to provide insight into applied sport psychology and ensure that mental processes and their impact in sport can be recognised. Case studies and practical exercises (e.g. objective training) are intended to prompt students to reflect to a greater extent on the forms in which sport psychology can be applied in their practice of sports and to integrate these in their teaching. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

These major social health risks include the following: -unemployment and social decline -poverty and social deprivation -loneliness and social isolation -migration and social discrimination -Over-indebtedness and social marginalization -risky behavior and unhealthy social lifestyles Such living conditions and behaviors have been shown to cause increased health risks, but do not necessarily mean that all those affected have comparatively poor health or low life expectancy. Potentially affected individuals, however, do fundamentally represent health risk groups, which include the following groups of people: - (long-term) unemployed, disenrolled, welfare recipients, etc. - those at risk of and affected by poverty, including homeless, low-income, working poor, single parents, etc. - Lonely or solitary people and the socially disintegrated - Refugees, immigrants, foreigners, secondos, etc. - heavily indebted, insolvent people, people affected by wage garnishment, private bankruptcy, etc. - addicts (incl. drug, alcohol, gambling and work addicts), underweight or overweight and obese, sedentary and physically inactive people, etc. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
