Disability sport science is a dynamic field of research, where knowledge is rapidly advancing across a broad range of research areas. However, athletes with a disability have unique needs and theoretical and practical knowledge for these athletes and those working with them, is not widely reported in the literature. The Routledge Handbook of Disability Sport Science covers current research in a wide range of sport, exercise, training and health related topic areas related to disability sport science and identifies future research directions. Key knowledge is gleaned from research within sport, exercise, rehabilitation and medicine and is brought together in one single resource, covering both current and future relevance for researchers, students and practitioners alike.

The Routledge Handbook of Disability Sport Science is the first book to offer a comprehensive and in-depth review of current and emerging topics within disability sport science and provides a complete overview of academic and professional knowledge, divided into six sections covering the following topics:

- Physiology

- Biomechanics

- Technology

- Nutrition

- Physical Preparation, Health and Classification

- Psychology

Written by an international team of leading experts from academia and professional practice, the book is an essential reference for researchers, academics and students of disability sport science and related disciplines alike, as well as anyone working, or wanting to work, in disability sport.
