Measurement and Evaluation in Exercise Science, Sport, Physical Activity, and Health: Practical Applications offers an accessible, student-friendly introduction to the principles and practice of measurement and evaluation. Spanning applications in exercise science, sport performance, physical education, coaching, athletic training, health, and physical/occupational therapy, the book includes chapters on the key principles underlying good measurement practice―validity, reliability, and objectivity―as well as an introduction to using statistics and qualitative measurement. This textbook is intended to help students overcome their fear of scientific research and statistics. Fully revised and updated, the third edition will provide students with a clear guide to the obstacles of good measurement, how to apply the principles of good measurement, introduction to statistical analyses, and the eventual application/communication of measurement outcomes. Structured for use in both single and double-semester classes and involving readers at every stage through its rich pedagogy and accessibility, this is a crucial resource for introducing students to the principles of best practices in measurement and evaluation and is the ideal learning aid for any students studying measurement, evaluation, or assessment in kinesiology, exercise science, sports coaching, physical education, athletic training, and health and fitness.
