Data Analysis and Research for Sport and Exercise Science: A Student Guide

Data Analysis and Research for Sport and Exercise Science is tailored to suit undergraduate sports and exercise science students seeking a clear understanding of data and statistics to support their scientific research.

The text is divided into three main areas: Research and Design, Data Analysis and the Interpretation of Findings. Topics covered in the book include:

* introduction to the scientific research method
* the literature review
* developing your research question and experimental design
