Great insight given, well received and utilised by students.
A good reference of key terms. Easy to read and will be useful for 1st year HE students.
Can not think any tutor would need all the chapters... a very diverse book covering subjects i have never taught or been taught. That aside the information contained is a very good read, even if just for your own information to maybe use whilst teaching another subject.
I have found this text to be a very useful source, particularly for first year students. I have recommended it for purchase for our library and put it on several module reading lists.
an excellent companion guide for undergraduate students
This text will be added to our recommended reading list, as it very nicely covers most of the taught sections of our Sports Module in a manner which easily accessible.
The book is a good reference for first year students, which allows them to read around different areas of sport and exercise science. I will be listing this as further reading for the students.
Well written text contextualising the main areas within the picture of sport and exercise science. Will be an ideal supplementary guide for students who are reading around the specialism.
The book will support students through a range of modules offering an insight into a range of key concepts to include pedagogy, physiology, psychology, biomechanics and sociology. This is an easy book to read and understand.
