Curso de Psicologia aplicada à Educação Física

Physical Education and Psychology have been sister sciences from a long time. Although body and mind seem yet distant concepts, there is enough evidence that those two instances of human existence actually are complementary parts of a single unity: the human being. Professionals from either fields tend to collaborate in the effort to build strong bridges between the psychological and the physical knowledge, however, few books tried to develop a pedagogical strategy to teach Psychology for Physical Education students. This work is the sum of the effort of several Brazilian researchers in both areas who wanted to provide a novel, yet relevant, source of information and to create a stronger connection between the science of movement and the science of mind.
