Coaching Science Abstracts - Written and Produced by Brent S. Rushall, Ph.D., R.Psy.
These abstracts interpret research articles for practicing coaches and others interested in applied sport science. They are drawn from the personal files of Professor Rushall. Some dated articles are included because their content is still current. Most articles are interpreted for coaches of elite athletes and programs. The contents are changed monthly and may or may not be thematic. Usually six issues per year will be provided.

Reading Coaching Science Abstracts is done in the traditional manner of web-browsing. Clicking the mouse on links will change content. An issue of the journal is structured with the Table of Contents being the main page. By clicking an article in the Table of Contents of Volume 8, Issue 3, "Fuel and Ergogenic Aids 3.2 - General", the journal will transfer directly to the abstract. Progress through a journal issue involves going forward and backward between the Table of Contents and selected articles.
