The text covers prehistoric physical activity through 21st century sports and physical education, as well as ethics, epistemology, and aesthetics. It prepares students for further study within the discipline and encourages them to consider their place in the history of sport and physical education. The text begins with an explanation of the rationale for studying the history and philosophy of physical education and sport.

Students learn about sport in ancient Greece and Rome, non-Western physical education and sport, sport in Colonial America, international sport, and dance as a critical component of sport.

An inclusive and approachable introduction, History and Philosophy of Physical Education and Sport is a valuable resource for courses in kinesiology, sports studies, and physical education.
