Synopsis

Thoroughly revised and streamlined, Conducting and Reading Research in Kinesiology, Sixth Edition instructs readers on how to conduct their own research and how to read--with understanding--the research that others in the field have done. Beginning with an overview of the types of research, the Sixth Edition discusses the steps involved in conducting research, analyzing data, and concludes with a section on writing research proposals and reports. Using a practical and reader-friendly format, this comprehensive text incorporates numerous examples of the application of various research methods and techniques to increase students' grasp of the research process. The Sixth Edition helps readers develop an appreciation for research and an understanding of how different types of research are conducted so they will become valuable consumers and readers of the research of others. A new Chapter 6, Epidemiological Research, focuses on the latest research in this growing area of study A new Chapter 16, Qualitative and Mixed Methods Data Analysis and Interpretations, reflects new developments in this area Data analysis discussions in Part Three have been updated to match the latest statistical software Examples now focus on research across the many areas of kinesiology, ranging from teaching to clinical settings.
