Exercise, Health and Mental Healthprovides an introduction to this emerging field and a platform for future research and practice. Written by internationally acclaimed exercise, health, and medical scientists, this is the first systematic review of the evidence for the psychological role of exercise in: treating and managing mental health problems including dementia, schizophrenia, and drug and alcohol dependence; coping with chronic clinical conditions including cancer, heart disease, and HIV/AIDS; and enhancing wellbeing in the general population by improving sleep, assisting in smoking cessation, and as a way of addressing broader social issues such as antisocial behavior.
