Conducting & Reading Research in Kinesiology
Authors: Ted A. Baumgartner, Larry D Hensley, Weimo Zhu, Pamela Hodges KulinnaOVERVIEW
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, analysing 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.
