Covering all the important terms for all the A Level specifications, this title is also suitable for vocational and undergraduate courses that have a sport or leisure related content. The A-Z concentrates on three theoretical areas: anatomy and physiology; social, historical and cultural issues; and skill acquisition and psychology. Each entry begins with a clear, one sentence definition and is followed by further explanation and examples. The more important the term, the more detailed the entry, with all entries rigorously cross-referenced to ensure user-friendliness.Each stage of the course is covered: for new students, the definitions and explanations should help clarify the new terminology; during the course, the carefully developed explanations of key concepts should help strengthen written answers and help build an appreciation of links across all units. It should provide a clearly written reference to supplement classwork and coursework. For revision, the A-Z provides lists of the key concepts for physical education and should help clarify the major terminology used in the specifications with additional insights on how to approach exam questions.
