Sports training & coaching

Sport and physical activity are embedded in our education systems and in wider society. This book takes the broadest possible look at this topic, across every key discipline and on different continents, opening up important new directions for the future development of sport and physical activity education.

The book examines education in sport coaching, sport management, PE teacher training, physical activity and health promotion, and the emerging discipline of outdoor studies, considering how trends such as globalisation, digitalisation, and privatisation are having a profound impact on education programs. It identifies some of the most important societal issues that must be addressed by sport and physical activity educators, including healthy lifestyles, inequality, intercultural aspects, human rights, and emerging technologies, and looks at how sport and physical activity education in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, and Australasia is evolving to meet these challenges.

Designed to invite self-reflection, to provoke debate and to open up new cross-disciplinary and international perspectives within sports organisations and higher education institutions, this book is fascinating reading for advanced students, researchers, teachers, and policy makers with an interest in sport and physical activity.

Reviews for Education in Sport and Physical Activity: Future Directions and Global Perspectives

"""The insights and conclusions in the book, supplemented by case studies that show different socio-cultural perspectives to sport and physical activity from Europe, North and Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region (Chapters 8–12), have guided my ongoing collaborative projects concerning a state’s approach to the role of sport for development goals in Canada, Turkey and South Korea with researchers in education and the social sciences. I believe this book will benefit junior researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers by offering global and multidimensional perspectives in response to current and future challenges in education in sport and physical activity."" - Dongkyu Na, Educational Review"
