What drives this phenomenon? In Sport, the neuroscientist Jay Schulkin argues that biology and culture do more than coexist when we play sports, they blend together seamlessly, propelling each other toward greater physical and intellectual achievement. To support this claim, Schulkin surveys history, literature, and art and engages the work of philosophers and the latest psychological and sociological research. He connects sport's basic neural requirements, including spatial and temporal awareness, inference, memory, agency, direction, competitive spirit, and endurance, to the demands of other human activities. He affirms sport's natural role as a creative evolutionary catalyst, turning the external play of sports inward and bringing profound insight to the diversion that defines our species. Sport, we learn, is a fundamental part of human life--Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Sports $x Physiological aspects. 650 0 $a Sports $x Social aspects. 650 12 $a Sports $x physiology. 650 22 $a Psychology, Sports. 650 22 $a Philosophy, Medical. 650 22 $a Culture. 650 22 $a Health Behavior. 650 7 $a Sports $x Physiological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130485 650 7 $a Sports $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130525 650 7 $a Humanwissenschaften $2 gnd 650 7 $a Sport $2 gnd 776 08 $i Online version: $a Schulkin, Jay. $t Sport. $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2016] $z 9780231541978 $w (DLC) 2016025084 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214025005.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=78001C1272D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
