OLYMPIC CENTENNIAL

Athletic, Sport, Recreation Bibliography Project

SUMMARY:

The 1996 History of Nutrition Symposium, sponsored by the American Institute of Nutrition, commemorates the centennial celebration of the modern Olympic movement. In this spirit of celebration we acknowledge and recognize the names and publications of more than 50,000 historical and contemporary scholars linked by the common thread of their united, interest in athletics, sport, and recreation.

Athletics, sport, and recreation lie at the junction between the humanities, social sciences, and biological-medical sciences. It is difficult to separate athletics from sport, or to separate sport from recreation. Research on human athletics, games, leisure, physical education, play, and recreation has been conducted by a broad range of scholars that represent the humanities, social sciences, and biological-medical sciences. Analytical and descriptive works, translations, and scientific studies characterize this vast literature conducted by a broad range of scholars, among them: anthropologists, art historians, classicists, dietitians, economists, educators, engineers, food scientists, geographers, historians, home economists, musicologists, nutritionists, pharmacologists, physiologists, physicians, political scientists, psychologists, and sociologists.

As part of the Olympic centennial celebration, and to complement the 1996 History of Nutrition Symposium, we formed a bibliographical interest group at the University of California, Davis, Department of Nutrition. Our objective was to identify contributions to athletics, sport, and recreation made by scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and biological-medical sciences, then prepare bibliographies on selected topics. Our team consisted of both graduate students, and undergraduate students. The references ultimately selected to form the bibliographies represent historical and contemporary studies; descriptive and analytical publications. They represent the diversity of academic, government, and private sector scholarship conducted throughout the world. We did not attempt to be comprehensive or exhaustive in our literature search; we did attempt to be representative and select published works that illustrate the diversity of scholarship and resources available to us for inspection.
