Performance shows students how to become effective producers and
consumers of health and human performance research. The book
provides comprehensive coverage of both quantitative and
qualitative research methods and includes step-by-step guidance for
writing effective research proposals and theses. In addition, the
authors show how to read, assess, interpret, and apply published
research and how to conduct basic studies in health, physical
education, exercise science, athletic training, and recreation.
Designing and Conducting Research in Health and Human
Performance is filled with illustrative examples that emphasize the
real-world applications of research methods. Throughout, the
authors draw on a variety of examples that were selected because
they provide a context to further the understanding of health and
human performance research.
Research to Practice examples and Tips are included by the
authors to help students better appreciate the book's content.
These study aids provide suggestions and additional resources to
assist students in understanding the research process. Key Terms,
defined and highlighted, enrich each chapter. Chapter Review
Questions, designed to help students comprehend and follow best
practices in research methods, close each chapter. Online resources
and guides developed by the authors to support and enhance
students' learning of important research concepts are
available.
