Measurement and Evaluation in Human Performance, Sixth Edition With
HKPropel Access, guides students through the essentials of
collecting and analyzing data of human performance and using that
data in practical application. Introductory algebraic concepts are
combined with the technological capabilities of Microsoft Excel and
IBM’s SPSS software to aid students in calculations and data
analysis. Focusing on the core concepts of reliability and validity
of data, the text provides all the necessary tools for
evidence-based decision making to apply in kinesiology, sport and
exercise science, physical therapy, allied health, physical
education, health, and fitness. The sixth edition of Measurement
and Evaluation in Human Performance has been reorganized to offer a
logical progression of information that makes it easy for
instructors and students to apply the content to their specific
courses and career goals. It is enhanced with added expertise from
new coauthor Weimo Zhu, an internationally known scholar in
Kinesmetrics who served as the chair of the Measurement and
Evaluation Council of SHAPE America. The amount of information on
physical activity assessment has been increased across all
chapters, and the text includes new content about sport video
analysis apps, employment-related testing, and more. The text is
divided into four parts. Part I introduces the concepts of
measurement and evaluation and their importance for decision making
in human performance. Part II explains the use of statistics as
core tools and resources for these evaluations and explains the
various forms of statistical procedures often used in measurement.
Part III presents reliability and validity from theoretical,
comprehensive, and criterion-referenced perspectives. Skills gained
through previous sections are applied to human performance issues
such as evaluating a person’s aerobic capacity or muscular
strength. Part IV applies all of the content from the previous
sections to practical settings where students will use the
knowledge gained in the text, covering topics like fitness
assessment, performance assessment, motor behavior, and sport and
exercise psychology. To enhance student comprehension and
retention, related online learning aids are delivered through
HKPropel. Sample data sets for each chapter allow students to
practice data analysis, as do a wide range of study and practice
activities. Chapter quizzes may be assigned to students by
instructors and are automatically graded within HKPropel. In
addition, Mastery Item sidebars throughout the text include
problems and activities that test student knowledge, while
Measurement and Evaluation Challenge sidebars provide scenarios
that can be evaluated with the information from the chapter.
Measurement and Evaluation in Human Performance, Sixth Edition,
continues to provide students with the tools and confidence they
will need to gather reliable data, analyze it, and apply it in
their work with clients. Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is
