  It combines the serious, theoretical study of physical education, sport and physical recreation with lively, task-centred activities - a unique approach that focuses on helping students gain a wider, more practical understanding of sport and its various functions. While the central concern of the book is the science and practice of human movement, the authors emphasise the importance of the performer and his behaviour in various contexts in action, as a person and in society.
