Recenzii

Research Methods in Kinesiology is easy to read and comprehensive, covering all the basics of research methods, and then some. In addition to covering quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches, chapters are also dedicated to ethics, philosophical worldviews, and knowledge translation." -Brenda Bruner, Nipissing University
Student friendly textbook, with lots of research examples, that highlight the diversity of research being conducted in the field of Kinesiology in Canada." -Erin McGowan, Memorial University
I love this text... Everything is organized so nicely and I am confident in the authors, who are my Canadian collegues whom I respect as researchers. This text is what we need right now to represent Kinesiology in the Canadian context. It is well-organized and covers the vast variety of research approaches in Kinesiology." -Shaelyn Strachan, Univeristy of Manitoba
