The 6th edition of the Directory of Sport Science is now available through the ICSSPE Website, both as electronic and print version. While ICSSPE members receive a free copy and enjoy free access to the e-book, non-members can purchase the book online. The Directory of Sport Science is a unique reference tool for gaining insight into various sport science disciplines including Sport Biomechanics, Sport and Exercise Medicine, Sport History, Adapted Physical Activity, Physical Education, Sport Management or Sports Law. It is designed to be a resource for policy makers, administrators, professionals in sport and health sectors and is essential for every teaching library of sport science. Divided into fundamental academic disciplines of sport science and academic disciplines with professional orientation as well as multi-disciplinary thematic areas, it includes descriptions of the key functions, methodology, history, organisations, and resources of each discipline and thematic area. Kari Keskinen, Chair of the ICSSPE Editorial Board, comments on the new edition as follows: "The Directory of Sport Science is an exposition of the field of Sport Science, its structures and its academic disciplines and their sub-disciplines. The newly published 6th Edition updates general information and definitions of terms and practices, from the five previous editions since 1998. The purpose is to disseminate up-to-date information about Sport Science. On one hand, the Directory is a general introduction to a single scientific domain which is a constantly developing and diversifying group of academic disciplines and multidisciplinary thematic areas of interest. On the other, the Directory encourages international cooperation between various fields of scientific activity throughout the world. ICSSPE is confident that the Directory of Sport Science will help to develop disciplinary and inter-disciplinary work in sport science, worldwide."
