Collections of athletics material of national and international significance consisting of an estimated 8,000 items covering the historical, scientific and technical aspects of athletics (track and field, road and cross country running), and also a significant collection on the Olympic Games. The subject coverage places a great deal of emphasis on the scientific aspects of sport: sport psychology, exercise physiology, biomechanics, kinanthropometry, sports medicine, injuries and motor processes, but the Centre also has substantial holdings on sport, physical education, recreation and leisure. There is also a significant collection of books and journals devoted to the history of sport. Besides primary and secondary printed works there are extensive holdings of archives (amongst them those of the Amateur Athletic Association and the papers of Harold Abrahams) and some 170 sound recordings of interviews with famous athletes, coaches and athletics officials. The Centre also holds the Minutes of Meetings of the Sports Council, 1969-1975. Gifts of archival material, either in the athletics or other sporting fields, are always welcome. | Format: | Books, journals, pamphlets | Subjects: | Sports injuries Athletics Olympic games sport psychology kinanthropometry Sports science and technology exercise physiology Sports medicine Amateur Athletic Association Biophysics | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 0121 471 4691 | Telephone: | 0121 414 5828 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:6678 | Format: | Books, journals, pamphlets | Go to resource |
