From the first edition: 'This dictionary will be of particular help to students of physical education, coaches and athletes as well as to medical specialists and general practitioners'The Year in Reference

Product Description

This comprehensive and authoritative dictionary provides an invaluable reference book for anyone interested in the fascinating subject of sport. It covers all the major areas of sports science and medicine including: anatomy; biomechanics; exercise physiology; nutrition; sports psychology; sports sociology; sports injuries; and training principles. This dictionary was compiled, in its first edition, with the help of a team of eminent contributors and advisers. Since the first edition was published, the disciplines of Sport science and Sport medicine have grown rapidly and generated a wealth of new information. The second edition includes over 7500 cross-referenced terms which have been updated or added since the first edition. There are 165 illustrations including twenty new ones, and four appendices have been added including one on Banned Substances. The dictionary will be of particular help to medical specialists, students of PE, coaches, and athletes who need to understand the scientific principles, physiological processes, and anatomical structures which affect sporting performance. It will also be useful to the general reader interested, health and fitness, or wishes to understand the meanings of such terms as A-band, jogger's hipple, maximal aerobic power, social loafing, and zero-sum competition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Sports Science Lecturers, 15 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This dictionary contains almost every sports science, anatomy/physiology, biomechanic,, injuries description, and pschological term as related to sports medicine/science. It is very comprehensive and is a must for any student or teacher's bookshelf. A dictionary that will not be dated in a few years. Great investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Get a copy of this for your school/college/university/work bag, 13 Feb 2008

By	R. Canfield "ruggarob" (Letchworth, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Oxford Dictionary of Sports Science and Medicine (Hardcover)

Now at university, I have used a version of this book since i first found it when doing A-level PE. Then i was using the first edition, when i prgoressed onto a degree in Sports Studies I started using the second edition and now as a student can't afford this newer version of a fantastic resource. This book gives a good clear understandable description of almost everything you could want to know within the field of sports science and medicine. A great book to go to first for any study of a specific topic, or even just to have next to you when ready, nay, sifting through a thick text book. A great 'primary' secondary research text. Recommended on the highest level. Even better in hardback.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Vital Book For Sports Science Students!!!, 19 Jan 2008

By	Gordz (Cheshire, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oxford Dictionary of Sports Science and Medicine (Paperback)

This dictionary is just what I've been looking for! For essays and assignments this has been a life saver for checking up definitions of sports science related words and phrases.

I've found the Oxford Dictionary of Sports and Medicine to be the best book i've ever bought for my degree! But, this book will not only be great for me during my university years, but also would be a great buy to use for GCSE and A-levels as it's not too complicated and explains everything you'd ever need to know!

I don't know what i'd do without this book to be honest! It definitly beats wikipedia and google when searching for words and phrases related to Sports Science hands down!

I would recommend this book to virtually anyone who is doing a sports related degree or course at university, college or school!

5.0 out of 5 stars 5* text.
Although this book was for my partner and not me, I can say that she is finding it totally invaluable during her college course.
