I mange år har fokus på bevægelse ligget på den fysiske del og i mindre grad på, at bevægelse også indeholder en sanselig, følelsesmæssig og relationel dimension. Sans for bevægelse undersøger ud fra et fænomenologisk og eksistentielt perspektiv, hvordan bevægelse og pædagogik er tæt sammenvævet. Den inspirerer til, hvordan pædagoger og lærere kan forstå og arbejde med bevægelse og de erfaringer og meningsforståelser, som følger med bevægelse. Bogen behandler en række pædagogiske temaer gennem en nær anknytning til praksis. Forfatterne kommer blandt andet ind på: Leg Empati Lidenskab Bevægelsesglæde Handicap Energi Bogen henvender sig primært til pædagoger, pædagogstuderende og undervisere på pædagoguddannelser, og alle med interesse for bevægelse og pædagogik.

By deepening our understanding of performance and development in sport, and the process of becoming an elite player, this book is important reading for any serious student or researcher working in the philosophy of sport, sports coaching, sports development, sport psychology or applied sport science.
