ISE Foundations of Physical Education, Exercise Science, and Sport

by Deborah A. Wuest, Jennifer L. Walton-Fisette Assistant Professor

Foundations of Physical Education, Exercise Science, and Sport provides readers with the most up-to-date information about physical activity, physical education, and sport, while recognizing that this dynamic field and its disciplines are ever changing in our fast-paced, technology-driven society. It challenges students to commit to ongoing development and growth as professionals from the very beginning of their careers, and encourages them to advocate for physical activity and quality physical education, to value diversity and appreciate its many forms, and to work toward making opportunities to participate in physical activity available to all people throughout their lifespan. Walton-Fisette and Wuest inspire readers to work collaboratively with other dedicated professionals to address the issues facing the field, the challenges ahead, and the realization of physical education, exercise science, and sport’s potential to positively contribute to the lives of all people.

A very helpful textbook if you’re majoring in Physical Education. Unfortunately, I’m not, but I could still see how it would be useful. It had some well-done chapters explaining different aspects of physical education at different ages and how many job opportunities there are, but it was also incredibly redundant. A lot of the chapters repeated the same things mentioned in previous chapters, and there were a lot of things said throughout the book that seemed obvious and unnecessary.

This was a good textbook with a lot of valuable information. The set up was easy to understand and had many links to webpages and journals for more information that wasn't covered in this book, or simply to find organizations that may interest the readers.

Poorly written and organized.

I only read this book because of a college class but it taught me a lot about physical education among other things so I liked it.
