Psychosocial Aspects of Sport & Exercise Laboratory
Director: Dr. Scott Martin
The Psychosocial Aspects of Sport & Exercise Laboratory, directed by Dr. Scott Martin, focuses on research in these areas in line with the
American Psychological Association Division 47 (Sport and Exercise Psychology) and
the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) missions to help individuals use
psychological and social principles and skills to achieve optimal health and to improve
performance and to understand how participation in sport, exercise, and physical activity
affect psychosocial development, health, and well-being.
The goals are also congruent with the American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM) mission to promote and integrate research, education, and application of sport and exercise science for the maintenance and enhancement of sport performance, fitness and health, and life quality.
