SPORTDiscus
Updated monthly, SPORTDiscus contains over 650,000 records (from 1830 to date), to periodical articles, books, book chapters and essays, conference papers, reports, videotapes and URLs to fulltext documents/sources. Subject coverage includes all aspects of sports sciences, physical education, health and recreation. Each record is assigned a level of difficulty: A) advanced (scientific research), (I) intermediate (based on scientific research but easier to understand), and (B) basic (popular and easy to read).
The University of Oregon, Kinesiology Publications records from 1949 to date are included along with the sociology of sport records from the discontinued SIRLS database, other projects, and from the major indexing partner, the Australia National Sport Information Centre, 1987 to date.
