Endurance Performance in Sport: Psychological Theory and Interventions explores the impact of psychological factors on athletes at all levels. This comprehensive guide examines the main theoretical models and applies them to real-world scenarios, providing practical insights into how to support an athlete's efficacy and well-being.

A final section addresses issues related to mental health relevant to endurance performance, highlighting the importance of psychological theory in this field.

Written for researchers, students, coaches, and athletes, Endurance Performance in Sport is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand how psychological factors influence endurance performance and what techniques can be used to improve efficiency.
