Critical Pedagogies in Physical Education, Physical Activity and Health

"This book explores the complex relationships between policies, discourses, and practices in physical education (PE), physical activity and health. It provides theoretical and practical guidance for pedagogical study within these domains and for exploring their roles within young people's lives. With contributions from leading international experts in health education and physical education, and adopting a critical, socio-cultural approach, the book examines how health education and physical education are situated across differing contexts and intersect with key concepts such as assessment, curriculum, social justice and digital spaces. Each chapter ends with reflection points providing readers with 'food for thought' as they develop their knowledge and understanding of critical health pedagogy and the complexities surrounding current issues in health, wellbeing and physical activity. This book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, teachers, and academics with an interest in health, pedagogy and young people. It is also suitable for key stakeholders in young people's physical education, physical activity and health, including practitioners, industry and policy professionals"--
