Foundations of PE, Exercise Science, and Sport,

This review is from: Foundations of Physical Education, Exercise Science, and Sport (Hardcover)
Good overview for anyone considering a career in a sports related field. Most photos are black & white which is good since it helps keep cost down. However, a lot of them are old. Since this is the 16th edition published in 2009, I would have expected the the photos would have been updated to more recent ones. While there are some more recent photos, many of them seem to be from the 70's and 80's which makes the book feel outdated. Overall, the information is good and current though.
It does tend to be rather liberal. It puts the primary responsibility for physical fitness not on the individual (or parents in the case of children) but on government agencies and programs, schools, and organized fitness/sports programs.

The book is a bloated piece of garbage and waste of timber. It's just an absolutely terrible, boring, uninsightful, piece of trash. Hands down the worst piece of cr@p I've ever read. Not at all helpful in any respect and just painful to read.
4.0 out of 5 stars

Great book for sports related majors, from exercise science to sports management! Very informative and interesting. Price is kind of high but the book is okay for what it's worth.
