Advancements in Mental Skills Training presents contemporary evidence-based intervention approaches from leading sport psychology researchers and practitioners.

The book comprehensively examines the use of mental skills training for athletic performance and well-being from a cross-cultural perspective. It begins by introducing theoretical advancements related to mental toughness, cultural factors, performance optimisation and mindfulness. It goes on to examine the technological advancements related to mental skills training, outlining how mobile technologies can be used to measure and train perceptual-cognitive skills, and the effectiveness of virtual reality in mental training. The book concludes by discussing emerging topics, such as how sports psychology can incorporate spirituality, minority groups in sport and the impact of prejudice, and referee career development.

This insightful text introduces the potential for sport psychology to be integrated into our daily functioning and provides strategies for athletes to optimize their performance and bolster their mental health. It will be an essential read for all sport psychology researchers as well as professionals working in the field.

This book addresses a critical gap in the literature, serving as a foundational resource for a rapidly evolving field that lacks a comprehensive reference point. It offers an in-depth exploration of research methods in exercise psychophysiology, beginning with a historical perspective before delving into key psychophysiological techniques and advanced methodologies for processing and interpreting biological data collected during exercise. Beyond methodology, the book examines core topics such as exercise tolerance, motivation, emotion regulation, attentional control, and cognition—unpacking the intricate psychophysiological mechanisms driving these phenomena. Designed to equip researchers and practitioners alike, it provides the necessary tools to design rigorous experiments and effectively apply complex psychophysiological methods in movement-related contexts. This resource is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how mind and body interact in the realm of exercise.
