The Science of Athletics - F A M Webster - Bog

"The Science of Athletics" is a comprehensive guide to athletics instruction written by F. A. M. Webster, originally intended for athletics coaches and teachers. It offers a fantastic introduction to the subject with a particular focus on the science, making it ideal for anyone with a serious interest in learning or teaching athletics. Contents include: "Considerations in Conditioning Athletics", "Health Aspects and Health Training", "Lessons to be Learned from Facial Expression", "Human Mechanism", "Considerations in Relation to Competition", "Athletic Tests and Measurements of Ability", etc. Frederick Annesley Michael Webster (1886 - 1949) was a British athletics coach and author, and soldier active during World War One. He wrote profusely on the subject of athletics, with his best known book being "Athletics in Action" (1931). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on athletics.
