Description

This text provides a detailed overview of the Canadian physical activity sciences - covering the subfields of both research and professional practice areas. Featuring contributions from Canadian scientists and professional leaders in 23 subfields of research and professions, this text aims to stimulate interest among Canadian undergraduates in physical education, the outdoors, leisure studies, fitness, coaching, health education, and exercise and sport sciences. In keeping with its introductory approach, "Physical Activity Sciences" concentrates on professional preparation - for both the subfields of research and the areas of professional practice. Contributors detail their areas of expertise according to core subject matter, methods of study, professional organizations and publications. The text also includes special sections on undergraduate preparation, career opportunities, and recent advances in each field, as well as special elements - definitions important quotes, lists, recent research findings, and so on - set off from the main text for greater emphasis and easier reading. Although "Physical Activity Sciences" is designed as an introductory text for Canadian programmes, it should also be a useful reference for anyone seeking an in-depth understanding of the physical activity sciences and professions.
