FROM DAY ONE . . . TO THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR EXAMS

"An excellent addition to texts used in any study of physical education but especially for A/AS level students...A superb and essential book for all students of this subject from GNVQ to undergraduate level." The School Librarian

The A-Z Handbook explains all the key terms linked to the study of Advanced Level Physical Education. It concentrates on three theoretical areas: Anatomy and Physiology, Social, Historical and Cultural Issues and Skill Acquisition and Psychology. Each entry begins with a clear definition and is followed by an explanation and/or worked examples. The more important the term, the more detailed the entry. The A-Z format makes it exceptionally easy to use.

The Complete A-Z Physical Education Handbook has been written to familiarise you with the language and terminology of Physical Education. It is useful from the first day of studying advanced Physical Education right through to the night before your exams.
