Learning objectives
The course provides for critical reflection on sports in its cultural context, the values and motives for engaging in it.

The course includes topics in competition and physical activity, body care, leisure, and wellness. Consistent with recent research in sports psychology, the course explores the topic of mindfulness in sports.
