The study of sport is characterised by its inter-disciplinarity,
with researchers drawing on apparently incompatible research
traditions and ethical benchmarks in the natural sciences and the
social sciences, depending on their area of specialisation. In this
groundbreaking study, Graham McFee argues that sound high-level
research into sport requires a sound rationale for one's
methodological choices, and that such a rationale requires an
understanding of the connection between the practicalities of
researching sport and the philosophical assumptions which underpin
them. By examining touchstone principles in research methodology,
such as the contested 'gold standard' of voluntary informed consent
in the natural sciences and the postmodern denial of 'truth' in the
social sciences, McFee demonstrates that epistemology and ethics
are inextricably linked. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from
the laboratory to the sports field, McFee explores the concepts of
'knowledge' and 'truth' in sports research and makes a powerful
case for a philosophical deepening of our approach to method and
methodology in sport. This book is important reading for all
advanced students and researchers working in sport, exercise and
related disciplines.
