Knowing Human Movement
Description:
Rather than simply surveying the field of kinesiology, this text interprets the field and argues that kinesiologists use a variety of types of knowledge. Following chapters on basic terms, definitions, and traditional descriptions of the professions, the authors present discussion of the types of knowledge most frequently used; understanding the principles through reasoning and observation; using science to investigate movement; expanding awareness of the moving, lived experience; and experiencing the meanings behind the stories that define the field to its members. Finally, they discuss the nature of movement itself as well as the political aspects of the field. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
