A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

If you are studying sport and exercise science, or a related course, then this book will be an indispensable companion throughout your entire degree programme. This ‘one-stop’ text will guide you through the wide range of practical, analytical and data-handling skills that you will need during your undergraduate and/or postgraduate studies. It will also give you a solid grounding in wider transferable skills such as teamwork, effective use of information technology, communicating information and study skills.

 

Practical Skills in Sport and Exercise Science provides an easy-to-read guide to help you develop the skills you need to succeed. It explains the essential elements of practical techniques and procedures in a step-by-step manner to help you understand their application in the context of sport and exercise science.

 

Features include:

 

• Comprehensive coverage of a wide range of practical elements within the discipline,        including pre-exercise health screening procedures; measuring speed, strength, power and endurance capacities; kinanthropometry and the most widely-used field tests.

• Advice and guidance on practical work; measuring techniques; statistical techniques; analysis and presentation of data and study skills

• Numerous margin tips and hints, ‘how to’ boxes, checklists, and worked examples.

• Key points highlight critical features of methodology.

• Relevant Internet resources for the subject highlighted.

Revue de presse :

"In general this is an excellent book and my decision to adopt it is based on the growing need to improve student's transferable skills and that is where this book excels" - Dr Richard Godfrey, Department of Sports Science, Brunel University

"This will be a useful reference text for students starting their final year projects, as it outlines/reviews many of the techniques used previously by students. I also like the integration of key skills and soft skills into the text, which allows for constant reminders to students over the year of the research process. I find the layout of the book less intimidating and more practically based than some in the area of research methodology which I think the students will appreciate" - Dr Bob Hogg, School of Health, Natural & Social Sciences, University of Sunderland

"An excellent text, very thorough and inclusive" - Christina Jacklin, Senior Lecturer, BASES Accredited Sport & Exercise Scientist (Psychology Support)

"Very useful overview of skills" - Dr Ian Kenny, Biomechanics Research Unit, Departments of Physical Education & Sports Science, University of Limerick
