The tide is turning, however, as growing media attention and familiarity with the Paralympics and the Wounded Warrior Project begins capturing the attention of researchers everywhere. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy addressing this gap, Jeffrey J. Martin's compelling \u003cem\u003eHandbook of Disability Sport and Exercise Psychology\u003c\/em\u003e is one of the first comprehensive overviews of this important and emerging field of study. In this volume, Martin, an accomplished professor of sport and exercise psychology, shines a light on a variety of topics ranging from philosophy, athletic identity, participation motivation, quality of life, social and environmental barriers, body image, and intellectual impairments among many other issues. Based on the author's own experience and insight, a majority of these topic discussions in this volume are accompanied by thoughtful directions for future research and exploration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDesigned to spark conversation and initiate new avenues of research, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook of Disability Sport and Exercise Psychology\u003c\/em\u003e will allow for readers to look outside the traditional literature focusing largely on able-bodied individuals and, instead, develop a much greater perspective on sport and exercise psychology today.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47969266860183,"sku":"9780190638054","price":11774.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780190638054.webp?v=1782921117","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/handbook-of-disability-sport-and-exercise-psychology-9780190638054","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
