Whether readers plan to work in physical education, kinesiology, exercise science, coaching, athletic training, physical therapy, or dance, this text defines current thinking and trends, blending practical information with supporting research. Cerebral Challenges, Exploration Activities, and Research Notes will help students review and extend their learning and inform them about developments in the field.
