Entry level text that povides key pieces of information for students in a go to format
An informative but short copy. Relevant for BTEC Level 3 sports science students, It is a useful supplementary read and good addition to a course reading list.
This book provides very useful definitions of mechanical and Sports and Exercise Science concepts that are essential to the succesful completion of our degree courses. The book is clearly written and concise and it contains relevant examples, useful formulas and handy follow up references for further reading.
This will prove helpful to new undergraduate students to get to grips with ideas new to them in the first year of their sport and exercise science degree.
good summary of the basic concepts, is good for supplemental reading but lacks the detail to be a core text for students
simple to understand theory
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.
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.
This book provides a good base guide for learners with direction to further reading. Great for building vocabulary and glossaries within the Sports Science industry.
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.
