Series Features
This series provides authoritative and up-to-date information that represents best practice in teaching in the contemporary health and movement science world.
Contemporary case studies of a variety of demographic groups and geographic locations not only reflect the diverse make-up of the Health and Movement Science classroom but also encourage students to make connections between local, national and international experiences.
Clearly labelled activities invite students to apply the key skills of collaboration, analysis, communication, creative thinking, problem-solving and research to the concepts in each chapter.
Practical applications encourage students to actively and creatively explore, demonstrate, review and communicate health and movement science concepts, and are explicitly linked to key skills.
Chapter summaries, multiple-choice revision and exam-style questions provide plenty of opportunities for students to test and apply their knowledge and understanding and prepare for the types of questions they may encounter in exams.
The Interactive Textbook brings the study of Health and Movement Science to life with online activities and resources such as videos, animations, case studies, and exercise and activity demonstrations. Videos can also be accessed directly from the print book by scanning the QR codes.
