Science for Exercise and Sport

Science for Exercise and Sportis a handbook written for undergraduate sport studies and sport and exercise students. It introduces students to the basic scientific principles that will underpin their learning during their studies and is aimed primarily at students who have little or no background in science. In this book, Craig Williams and David James relate key scientific concepts to an applied situation in order to help gain an understanding by reflecting on the applied nature and examples of the science in action.

Craig Williams is Programme Leader and Lecturer in Exercise and Sport Sciences at the University of Exeter.
