Critical Research in Sport, Health and Physical Education: How to Make a Difference by Richard Pringle (Monash University, Australia)

Within the overlapping fields of the sociology of sport, physical education and health education, the use of critical theories and the critical research paradigm has grown in scope. Yet what social impact has this research had?

It also examines how the use of different social theories impacts sport policies, national curricula and health promotion activities, as well as the practices of HPE teaching and sport training and competition.

Critical Research in Sport, Health and Physical Education

is a valuable resource for academics and students working in the fields of research methods, sociology of sport, physical education and health.
