Publisher's Synopsis
The Routledge Handbook of Assessment in Sport, Exercise and Physical Activity provides a vital and timely overview of assessment theories, statistical methods and tools for scientists, practitioners, and students working across a full range of sport and exercise disciplines.
Including sections on the principles and practice of assessment of physical fitness, physical activity and sedentary behaviour, performance across a range of over thirty sports, and key emerging areas such as physical literacy and injury risk, the book constitutes the most comprehensive resource ever published in the area.
Adopting a fully international and interdisciplinary perspective, no other book covers assessment in sport, exercise and physical activity in the same breadth or depth. This cutting-edge book is an essential reference for anyone interested in assessment in sport, exercise and physical activity, or anyone conducting applied research in sport performance or physical activity and health.
