This is the loose-leaf version of Research Methods in Physical
Activity, Eighth Edition, which offers students a less expensive,
printed version of the text. Research Methods in Physical Activity,
Eighth Edition, systematically guides students through the research
process, introducing research methods, tools, and analysis
techniques specifically for kinesiology and exercise science
disciplines, including the subdisciplines of physical therapy,
rehabilitation, and occupational therapy. The eighth edition
continues its legacy with the authors' trademark humor and is now
enhanced with a new full-color layout. This reputable text provides
step-by-step information for every aspect of the research process.
Part I presents an overview of the research process, from preparing
the research plan to understanding ethical issues in research and
writing. Part II introduces statistical and measurement issues in
research. Part III presents various approaches to research and
methodology-including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed
methods-while scholarly contributors offer advice for addressing
sociohistorical, experimental, epidemiological, and philosophical
research questions. Part IV details how to develop and organize
research papers and presentations, and it includes guidance for
describing results for publication in a scientific journal.
Statistical tables and guides are available in the appendix.
Joining longtime authors Jerry Thomas, EdD, and Stephen Silverman,
EdD, are Philip Martin, PhD, and Jennifer Etnier, PhD, who bring
fresh perspectives from the subdisciplines of biomechanics and
sport and exercise psychology. Other enhancements to the eighth
edition include the following: References have been updated
throughout the text to present current research. Part II has
undergone a major revision that makes statistical techniques more
accessible. A new section on the Physical Activity Guidelines for
Americans and other public health initiatives demonstrates
epidemiology research in action. The chapter on philosophical
research contains new issues from our increasingly diverse world,
challenging students to think deeply. The full-color layout fosters
an engaging learning experience and offers an enhanced data
presentation. Research Methods in Physical Activity, Eighth
Edition, employs learning aids that make the technical aspects of
the research process approachable and easy to understand. Photos,
anecdotes, and humorous stories throughout the text highlight
practical applications to keep students engaged. A running glossary
and key points emphasize important content. Review questions and
prompts invite students to assess and apply their knowledge.
Research Methods in Physical Activity, Eighth Edition, instills in
students the confidence to devise, collect, analyze, and present
their research in a competent manner. It is an essential text for
all emerging researchers in physical activity.
