Studying sport in its Asian contexts

Sport Science and Studies in Asia presents sport as a subject shaped by social, cultural and country-specific contexts, not just training or performance. It encourages students and researchers to question existing knowledge and pursue new lines of inquiry while staying attentive to those differences. The description also positions discussion and debate as part of studying sport across the region. Its emphasis is on how sport is understood and investigated, with possible implications for training approaches and sport innovation presented as aspirations rather than established outcomes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Undergraduate or graduate students studying sport in Asia
  • Researchers interested in the social and cultural contexts of sport
  • Sport practitioners seeking a reflective approach to their field

Book overview

Sport Science and Studies in Asia encourages readers to be reflective practitioners, as students or researchers, or thinkers of sports, to be independent seekers of future sport knowledge, and yet mindful and grounded in a full knowledge and awareness of the social, cultural and country-specific nuances of sports. It invites discussions and debates on a diversity of topics covered, and is suitable text for undergraduate and graduate study of sports in Asia. This publication hopes to ?light the fuse? that will fuel enthusiasm of sports-associated outcomes as well as heighten sport interest among the more discerning consumers of sport, result in more extensive research and development in sports, generate greater spin-offs in sport innovation in terms of new training approaches and sport products, and a greater appreciation that sports and human kind are inseparable.
