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 While there are some more recent photos, many of them seem to be from the 70's and 80's which makes the book feel outdated.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.

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.

I can not find any evidence of this being a used book. The quality is like new and I received it before another book that I paid to have expedited. I guess I wasted my money on expedited shipping.

I got this book for a class at Central Texas College to fulfill my PE Credits. The book had lots of good information but tended to be repetitive and had a definite liberal leaning.
