Sport and Exercise Psychology (Hons) Bangor University

Overview

Through the internationally renowned Institute for the Psychology of Elite Performance (IPEP), their impact extends far beyond sport. A 10-year programme of research funded by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) led to changes in the delivery of training across the three Armed Services, which have reduced attrition rates among Royal Marine recruits by up to 15%.

Sport psychology techniques that measure the connection between emotions and performance are bringing a revolution to the sports industry, as well as high-performance companies and activities that involve high pressure or physical demands. Although the idea of the integrated mind-body is not new, these emerging techniques are changing the way we understand and enhance performance.
