HK Europe
Mission: To publish quality educational resources, encompassing all fields of physical activity, that strengthen the profession and promote the value of physical activity worldwide.
This year Human Kinetics (HK) Europe is celebrating its 14th anniversary of serving teachers, researchers, coaches, professionals, sport participants, and fitness enthusiasts across Europe.
HK Europe has provided Europeans with a steady flow of information on physical activity. The subsidiary has successfully met the challenge of working with nearly 50 countries, each with its own economy, infrastructure, laws, culture, and populations who speak a multitude of languages. Add to this the varied customs regulations, postal services, and educational systems and philosophies and you can begin to see the amount of work involved in distributing our products all over the continent.
Yet HK Europe not only delivers this information; it is helping to create it. This is being accomplished by developing close working relationships with the Youth Sport Trust, the Institute for Youth Sport, and the British Association for Sport and Exercise Science--all based in the UK--and by building ties with many other academic and professional associations across Europe. A network of consulting editors ensure that we work with the best European authors. This has led to the publication of a number of key titles, including Teaching Health-Related Exercise at Key Stage 1 & 2; Psychology for Physical Educators; Rugby: Steps to Success; and Borg's Perceived Exertion and Pain Scales.
Based in Leeds in the UK, HK Europe has grown to a dozen full-time staff members in a modern 10,000-square-foot office and distribution complex. The staff manages all marketing, sales, promotions, editorial, customer service, and inventory operations. In addition to the Leeds staff, representatives and consultants across Europe assist with sales, market research, commissioning, and conference exhibits.
