Wie beeinflussen Peer-Gruppen die sportlichen Aktivitäten während der sensiblen Übergangsphase vom Kindes- zum Jugendalter (12-14 Jahre)? Basierend auf einer von der DFG geförderten Längsschnittstudie zeigt dieses Buch, wie Peer-Gruppen die Teilnahme von Jugendlichen am Sport sowohl in der Schule als auch in der Freizeit beeinflussen. Der Autor identifiziert fünf wichtige kollektive Orientierungen und diskutiert deren Auswirkungen auf die Sportpädagogik und -praxis.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
