| | Customer Reviews: Well Thumbed! (01 November 2008)I bought this book some time ago on the recommendation of my supervisor. I have now completed my MPhil on ICT in Physical Education. Having done the research 300 miles away from the university, this book was my first port of call over and above the internet. Although it lacks depth at times (It could not inform me of the significance of low r values for example), it sets you off on the right lines. I agree with the other review that states that this is a well written book. It is very clear to follow and understand the concepts. This was placed on top of my desk and I don't think a day went by without me needing to thumb through it. Review of Research Methods in Physical Activity (13 February 2003)This is a well written and fairly comprehensive book that manages to cover all aspects of research design, as well as statistical concepts. As a Sports Science student, I have found this book invaluable in pulling together the ideas and statistical concepts that are necessary for a student to have a good overview of this subject. It is written in a style that has included humour, which is a bonus in what is essentially quite a dry scientific subject. I have found this book to be of great help in understanding and becoming more competent in deciding what is an apropriate research design, and choosing the correct statistical test. I would recommend this book to any Sports Science student! A must for physiotherapy reasearch and students (16 October 2001)This book gives a clear definition on the way to go about setting up and carrying out a research project. Guides you step by step with easy to follow examples. It is excellent for post-grad work and should also be of value to the smarter undergrad student. Although the lengthy reading may seem boring it is in essence what research protocol is all about. | |
