Sport science is evolving from the interaction among various disciplines and sciences, all of which are converging on the dimensions of movement, play and sport, and especially on the high-quality performance of athletes. This anthology presents two articles for each of ten subdisciplines in sport science: exercise physiology, sport medicine, sport biomechanics, movement theory, training theory, sport psychology, sport pedagogy, sport sociology, sport history and sport philosophy. Each chapter offers a reference list for further studies, and an extensive appendix provides information on German sport science publications as well as on sport institutions and organizations.
