Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
The world-renowned authorship team of Bonnie G Berger and Robert S Weinberg welcome fellow highly esteemed scholar Robert C. Eklund to this third update of one of the fundamental texts on exercise psychology. In this new edition, the authors expand upon the key concepts and models of the field, focusing on the interrelationships between exercise and psychology. Students moving toward the exercise professions will gain a solid background in key issues surrounding exercise and health and make great strides forward in becoming competent and compassionate practitioners.
"Psychology can work in at least two ways, as this book clearly shows. First, we can gain psychological benefits from physical activity. This is encapsulated in the early chapters on quality of life, stress management, self-perceptions, and mood. Second, we need to understand how to assist people to become more active. This is where chapters on theories and models, motivation, determinants, and strategies come in. [. . .] In addition, psychology is also about behaviour change across different groups and settings. The authors deal with this by writing on young people, older adults, and gender issues. One size does not fit all." -- From the foreword by Stuart J H Biddle, Professor of Active Living & Public Health, Victoria University
