Sport psychology is the study of how psychological factors can impact engagement in professional and recreational sports, as well as how sports impact an athlete's psychological state.[27] After becoming popular in the early 20th century, it is now a recognized scientific field which is relevant to many different sports.[28] Modern sports psychologists often use a combination of goal setting, visualization techniques and preperformance routines to help athletes achieve their goals.[29][30][31]
The sociology of sport is a subfield of sociology which aims to study sports through the lens of interactions between different groups and cultures.[32] The field has also investigated how various gender divides in sports can influence feminist movements.[33]
