The consequences of exercise behaviors are the physical, psychosocial, and cognitive outcomes (e.g., self-efficacy, body image, mental health) of exercise participation. The antecedents and consequences of exercise behaviors will be presented within the context of contemporary conceptual and theoretical models in exercise psychology. This course is designed to provide students with an overview and foundation of the important psychosocial phenomena related to antecedents and consequences of exercise behaviors.
