Programme Structure

What you'll learn:

Exercise Psychology is the study of psychological responses and adaptations to acute and chronic physical activity.

The graduate program at UW–Madison focuses on the psychobiological aspects of physical activity in both healthy and diseased populations.
Research in the Exercise Psychology Laboratory has been generally concerned with quantifying the psychophysiological responses to exercise.
Numerous behavioral methods have been used to determine affective and perceptual responses to exercise including the use of biofeedback, hypnosis, imagery, meditation, and traditional relaxation interventions such as autogenic training.
Neuroimaging experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are also being conducted to determine neural responses related to pain, fatigue, and exercise.
