"The fundamental purpose of the present book entitled Elements of Physical Education is to serve as an introduction to the field of physical education and sports or sport and physical education as it is called within the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, one of the allied professions.

The book has been prepared in such a way that it can meet the needs of two different groups of people: (1) Those who are using it from the standpoint of their general education, as part of a broad liberal arts and science background; and (2) Those who are using it as an introduction to a field in which they will be prepared professionally, in addition to the general education function it can serve. Interestingly enough, it is very difficult to know just what name to give the field at present.

Hopefully, the present book will be very useful for the physical educators, coaches, athletes, students and teachers of physical education and sports." (jacket)
