Statistics in Kinesiology, Fifth Edition With Web Resource, offers
students in kinesiology and exercise science programs a unique
introduction to the statistics concepts and techniques relevant to
their specific field of study. Drawing from examples across
kinesiology, including exercise physiology, biomechanics, physical
education, and physical therapy, this essential text provides
students with a statistical skill set that will enable them to
analyze quantitative data and find answers to questions they will
encounter in their specific disciplines. As in previous editions,
emphasis is placed on methods commonly seen in kinesiology, such as
correlation and bivariate regression, t tests, analysis of variance
(ANOVA), and the interpretation of interactions in factorial
analyses of variance. The fifth edition also incorporates fully
updated content reflecting the changing face of kinesiology:
Comparisons of observational versus experimental research and
nonparametric versus parametric methods of analyzing categorical
and ordinal data More detailed coverage on how to calculate central
tendency when data have been transformed (e.g., log
transformations) as well as multiple ways to interpret the
correlation coefficient Expanded coverage of statistical graphs,
including dot plots and spaghetti plots A discussion of the real
meaning of p values and confidence intervals An introduction to
frequentist approaches versus Bayesian methods In addition, a new
web resource offers abridged presentations of complex statistical
concepts and an interactive platform to practice problem solving.
Mini lectures, consisting of narrated slideshows, provide further
explanations and may be quickly accessed through QR codes placed at
the end of each chapter. Sample problems then provide an
opportunity for students to put the concepts into practice.
Statistical software tools commonly used in kinesiology
applications—such as JASP and G*Power—are briefly introduced,
encouraging students to apply their knowledge of statistical
procedures to generate and interpret computer results with
confidence and ease. With Statistics in Kinesiology, Fifth Edition,
students will gain a solid understanding of the statistical
techniques used in physical activity fields. The book’s practical
approach, based on the authors’ more than 50 years of combined
experience in teaching statistics, will make it easy for students
to learn these important, but often intimidating, concepts.
