Welcome to our sport pages. Here you’ll find the details of our new series, Active Learning in Sport, designed for degree and foundation degree students.

Active Learning in Sport is the first series of sport textbooks to make learning about sport more like doing sport itself. Each book contains activities, learning objectives and self-test questions, placing emphasis firmly on the application of knowledge. As the books have been tailored to UK courses, this new series focuses mainly on UK examples and policies, making it easier for students to relate the examples to their own sports' performance. The books are written in a friendly and straightforward style by a team of experienced educators from a range of institutions.
