Persuasion and Communication in Sport, Exercise, and Physical Activity

Edited by Ben JacksonJames DimmockJosh Compton

How can we use persuasion methods to make people more physically active and improve their sport and exercise experiences? How can instructors, coaches, athletes, and practitioners most effectively communicate their messages to others?

Persuasion and Communication in Sport, Exercise, and Physical Activity is the first book to consider the applications of persuasion frameworks within activity-related contexts, while also summarising the major developments relating to communication topics in these settings.

It is an important text for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as academics in the fields of Sport and Exercise Science, Kinesiology, Health and Physical Activity Promotion, and related areas of Psychology.

The book won the 2022 Distinguished Book Award by the National Communication Association Communication and Social Cognition Division (USA).
