Nineteen papers share the results of recent studies on the behavior and mental processes involved in sport and exercise. The opening papers examine the relationship between body esteem and
anthropometry in British school children, and assess the effectiveness of self-modeling videotapes for improving ice hockey shooting skills. Other topics include third order effects on
adolescents' sport participation and motivation, social contacts and cohesion in group exercise, gender differences in perceived effort, and immune and hormonal stress responses to deep water
immersion. No editor credentials or peer review processes are noted. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
