New database: Physical Education Index

The library is happy to announce that we again provide access to the database Physical Education Index. You can find it in our list of reccommended databases, or by searching for databases in Oria.no. The database covers movement science, a wide variety of sport activities, as well as teaching and training within these fields.

Sport sciences and coaching
Physical Education Index enables you to search for articles in a wide variety of sport journals. It also covers subjects such as sports medicine, sports equipment, kinesiology, physiology, motor learning, sports psychology/sociology, as well as teaching methods, coaching and tests from movement sciences. Records are indexed and classified from peer-reviewed journals, report literature, conference proceedings, trade magazines, and more. There is some overlap with articles in the database SPORTDiscus, but you will find more about coaching and teaching methods in Physical Education Index.

Access to full text
The database covers material from 1970 until today. Beginning in January 2001, enhancements to the database include the addition of abstracts, e-mail addresses, expanded publisher and author information, and other data to facilitate access to the fulltext.

Contact the library if you have questions.
