Recenzje

Defining Physical Education was originally published in twenty years ago, but my impression is that it still has a very high relevance. I think that the book .. is invaluable reading for anyone with an interest in the situation and developments in the sports and health - Håkan Larsson, Nordic Sport Science Forum, 2013
