Unit 2 Reflection: Rose: This unit on sleep with physical activity was one of the best for me in terms of my learning since it gave me a deeper knowledge of the critical function that sleep plays in terms of both overall health and physical performance. I gained a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms that take place during sleep from the lecture slides, which offered thorough insights into how sleep affects cognitive performance, emotional control, and physical recovery. In this research study, the effects of sleep on an athlete's recovery and performance were demonstrated by this study. It highlighted how crucial sleep length and quality are to improving sports performance and avoiding injuries (Fullagar 2015). Finding out how various sleep stages, including REM and slow-wave sleep, affect memory consolidation, emotional control, and physical recuperation was interesting. The article's thorough explanations made it easier for me to understand how complicated sleep is and how it is physical activity. My knowledge of sleep's significance in exercise psychology has grown substantially, and I now feel much more equipped to recognize and explain the value of sleep in physical activity and competition. Not only has this course expanded my knowledge base, but it has also reinforced my belief regarding the critical function sleep plays in the lives of athletes. Sleep is not only a passive condition; it is an active process that promotes both mental and physical recovery, making people more resilient athletes. It's not just about sleeping; it's about maximizing wellbeing and performance. Thorn: The unit that I found challenging to understand was the digital environment with physical activity. I found it difficult to completely understand the scope of the digital gap, especially in light of health inequities, even while I acknowledge the value of digital technology in spreading information and promoting exercise-related activities. The article cited by Arigo (2023) discussed how social media may be useful for peer encouragement and virtual exercise groups, among other forms of social support and motivation. How to counteract the possible drawbacks of social media, such as inflated body expectations, comparison, and the spread of false information, was still less evident. It would have been beneficial to go into further detail about methods for preserving personal health information and creating a safe and moral online environment for people participating in fitness programs.It also would have been easier to navigate the digital landscape securely and ethically in the context of exercise psychology if real-world scenarios or best practices had been examined in this regard. I found myself wanting a more thorough examination of the techniques people can use to successfully navigate the digital environment and assess the workout information they come across. I think it's important to have a better grasp of these issues since privacy concerns have a big impact on people's propensity to adopt digital exercise tools and technologies. Assessing the effects of the digital environment on exercise psychology and making decisions regarding the usage of such technology would be strengthened by a more thorough examination of the ethical and legal issues surrounding digital health and fitness data. Bud:
A new idea and concept that I am eager to learn about is Depression that we are going to learn more about next week. Millions of people worldwide suffer from depression, a common and crippling mental health illness. Physical activity has been shown to be an effective approach in the treatment and prevention of depression. I'd like to know the mechanisms underlying the beneficial impacts of exercise on mental and emotional well-being. Craft and Landers (1998) conducted a study that was published in the Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology. Their findings indicate that regular exercise can positively impact mood and can be a useful addition to conventional depression treatments. The authors emphasized the benefits of exercise for elevating self-esteem and promoting endorphin release, two processes that are critical for reducing depressive symptoms. This article, “Treating Depression with Physical Activity in Adolescents and Young Adults”, discusses the promise of exercise as a non-pharmacological treatment for depression that was underlined in this study's thorough analysis of the body of existing research on the subject. As a result of this study's findings, which showed that regular physical activity can significantly lower depression symptoms, I am now excited to investigate the underlying mechanisms that underlie the relationship between exercise and better mental health. Furthermore, my aim is to examine the optimal exercise modalities, durations, and intensities that work best for people with different degrees of depression. Gaining knowledge about the complex relationships between depression and physical activity can improve people's quality of life and strengthen the position of exercise psychology in mental health interventions.
