Data Analysis and Research for Sport and Exercise Science: A Student Guide
Autor Craig Williams, Chris Wraggen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2003
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
* using statistical analysis to interpret results
* presentation of your data
* discussing your results and drawing conclusions.
Both authors have supervised many student dissertations and have an excellent understanding of the concerns and pitfalls facing those new to this field.
