El. knyga: Sport Science and Studies in Asia: Issues, Reflections and Emergent Solutions [World Scientific e-book]

Sport Science and Studies in Asia encourages readers to be reflective practitioners, as students or researchers, or thinkers of sports, to be independent seekers of future sport knowledge, and yet mindful and grounded in the full knowledge and awareness of the social, cultural and country-specific nuances of sport. The book invites discussion and debate on the diversity of topics covered, and is a suitable text for the undergraduate and graduate study of sport in Asia. This publication hopes to "light the fuse" that will fuel an enthusiasm for sport-associated outcomes as well as heighten sport interest among the more discerning consumers of sport, result in more extensive research and development in sport, generate greater spin-offs in sport innovation in terms of new training approaches and sport products, and foster a greater appreciation that sport and human kind are inseparable.
