Review
`Review from previous edition This dictionary contains almost every sports science, anatomy, biomechanic, injuries description, and psychological 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.' Cheltenham. UK.

My daughter asked me to find a dictionary with all the new terms she was running across in her exercise physiology major. She said that this book was just what she was looking for.
