Reversal Theory Research in Sport and Exercise Environments
The 14th International Reversal Theory Conference is taking place next week on July 8th in New Orleans. I am looking forward to posting on iStadia some of the new and interesting ways the theory is currently being used for research.
In recent years research using Reversal Theory has found that everybody who exercises regularly calls on all eight of the motivational states in order to motivate themselves at different times. For example, in the serious state they may get pleasure from the feeling of progress towards ends they have set themselves. In the playful state they enjoy the exercise itself, in the mastery state they feel they are getting into control of their bodies, etc. The more that people excercise, the more that they are motivated by all the states.

Keep following my blog posts to find out more about how Reversal Theory has been used within sport and exercise environments.
