Master in Sports Psychology

School of Business and Economics

Atlantic International University

The Master in Sport Psychology is organized in two fields of application and research, that have in common the professors of the program and the approach in the lines of research: health psychology, and psychology of physical activity and sport. These two branches share psychological principles, models and research methods, and have different fields of application, depending on the end users and situations (health in the general population and health in athletes).
