"Sport and Exercise Science introduces students to the essentials of the major contributing disciplines - biomechanics, physiology, and psychology. It combines detailed exposition of each subject area with explicit advice on how to study effectively, research further and think critically. Case studies help to relate theory to practice and learning exercises help readers to extend and assess their understanding. This is the most concise and most supportive text ever published for students of SES in higher education."--Back cover.
