Students will learn to use statistical tools to analyze quantitative        data and then apply that knowledge to common questions and problems they        will encounter as they continue their studies.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       The fourth edition has been fully updated with new content that reflects        the changing face of the kinesiology discipline, including the following:     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • A new chapter on clinical measures, including information on relative        risk, odds ratios, and diagnostic testing, that will be especially        pertinent to students in athletic training, physical therapy, and other        fields dealing with clinical or rehabilitation populations     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • More detailed coverage of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), which is        becoming the technique of choice for analyzing pretest–posttest control        group design     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • New material on statistical inference and correlations, including        information on hypothesis testing, types of error, confidence intervals,        and partial correlations     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       • Additional information on the quantification of reliability and its        applications in kinesiology     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStatistics in Kinesiology, Fourth Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, begins with a thorough        introduction to basic concepts such as measurement and research;        organizing and displaying data; percentiles; mode, median, and mean; and        measures of variability. The text then explores more advanced topics,        including correlation and regression, t tests, analysis of variance        (ANOVA), and analysis of nonparametric data. While the book offers an        overview of the most important statistical concepts and techniques, the        emphasis remains on those commonly used concepts in kinesiology        disciplines, such as repeated measures ANOVA and the interpretation of        interactions in factorial ANOVAs.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       The fourth edition features extensive problem sets that will help        students begin to calculate and interpret data. To enhance learning,        students are encouraged to practice the calculations manually, but        knowledge of advanced mathematics is not required. The examples given        involve only basic algebra skills. Information on computer-based        application is also provided throughout the book. In becoming familiar        with the mathematical formulas used by software programs, students will        learn to critically evaluate computer results and interpret data with        greater confidence and ease.In updating this text, the authors have been        careful to retain the features that have made past editions such a        success. Examples drawn from exercise physiology, biomechanics, physical        education, and physical therapy help students relate to how the        techniques are used and how those techniques allow them to answer        questions in their chosen fields. The problem sets are designed to help        students interact more fully with the content, thereby aiding in their        comprehension of concepts and techniques. Answers for each of the        problem sets are located in the back of the text and give students the        opportunity to check their work as they progress. Chapter summaries and        key words lists identify content that students should carefully review.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       With\u003ci\u003e Statistics in Kinesiology, Fourth Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, students will        gain a solid understanding of the statistical techniques used in        physical activity fields. The book’s practical approach, based on the        authors’ more than 50 years of combined experience in teaching        statistics, will make it easy for students to learn these important, but        often intimidating, concepts.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"William J.
