SAGE Key Concepts series
Sociology of Sport
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.

I believe this little text is better for revision or as supplemental reading than as a main course text. We will use it when preparing tutors for delivering coaching courses. The vignettes give enough information without being overly taxing. It is also a nice little book for any beginning coach who wants to broaden their horizon, and will be on the recommended reading list.
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
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.
A fantastic resource but not appropriate for the level of study I required the resource for.
A useful book for undergraduate students who want to access various disciplines of sport and exercise science.
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.
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.
An excellent book which will help support all learners on the course, especially those with aspirations of achieving high grades. This book acts as a whistle stop tour of the sports industry and also provides suitable links for further reading.
