Recent decades have seen a vast growth in sport science and this
book documents the formation and work of an organisation, the
International Council of Sport. Science and Physical Education
(ICSSPE), that has provided a foundation for much of this
development. The book draws on a wide range of sources to
illustrate the important co-ordinating role the Council has played
in physical education and sport and examines the emergence and
consolidation of the disciplines and themes of sport science. The
author shows how ICSSPE has been instrumental in nursing many
specialised areas to maturity and, since ICSSPE functioned within a
Cold War context, international politics provides the backdrop to
the organisation?s pioneering promotion of international
understanding in sport science through co-operation between East
and West. ICSSPE has not worked in isolation however, and the close
association between ICSSPE and UNESCO is discussed in detail by the
author, as is the more recent positive relationship with the
International Olympic Committee. "For four decades, the history of
ICSSPE and the global experience of the Olympic Movement have been
intertwined, and from its intellectual inception during the Games
of the XVI Olympiad in Melbourne in 1956 to the present, it has
made a significant contribution to both the international sport
science community and the Olympic Movement." Juan Antonio
Samaranch, President, International Olympic Committee
