Description

Sports Science in India: Practice and Perspective brings together key Indian academics and experts in the field of sports science (in its broadest sense) to produce summaries of the existing international research in fundamental topics of sport science with a focus on India in such a way that it can be used by students, researchers, and practitioners to help develop these areas in both an applied and a theoretical level. Sports Science in India: Practice and Perspective reflects the increase in sport science research that is being undertaken and published in India. While not intended to be sport specific, this new book contains particular cases of how sports science is applied in some sporting contexts in the Indian region—in that way, it is meant to be a seminal foundation book for those engaged with and studying sports science and is the first explicit inter-disciplinary publication examining sports science in India. This new research volume provides a crucial and timely contribution to the developing field and will bring in an essential Indian context and perspective to the areas of sports science research from the international as well as the specific context of India and will be critical reading for both researchers and students alike in the fields of Sport Science, Physical Education, Sport Technology, and Sport Coaching.
