Three new books from human movement studies lecturers at Charles Sturt University (CSU) will be launched at the Bathurst Campus on Wednesday 29 October. The books provide insights into the way the human body deals with its heating during exercise and exertion; the personal and cultural meanings of participating in competitive sports in later life; and the way young women view and respond to their bodies, health and physical activity. Head of the School of Human Movement Studies, Associate Professor Frank Marino, said “The significance of these books is that the School of Human Movement Studies believes in being a player in creating knowledge rather than a passive user. It shows to our students that we in the School are at the forefront of research and scholarship, so they should have every confidence that the curriculum they are a part of is cutting edge.”
