ABSTRACT

"Our goal is to give readers the knowledge and skill to use statistics effectively in their professional lives and feel comfortable doing so."--From the Preface

This new textbook, by two renowned authors with many years of teaching experience, provides:

  • A sound overview of statistical procedures and introduction to the basics of statistical analyses
  • An informal perspective that enables students to read, interpret, and use statistics directly related to their chosen careers in the kinesiology field (e.g., exercise physiology, physical therapy, medicine, personal training, nurse practitioner, physician’s assistant, and more)
  • Relevant examples, review questions, practice problems, and SPSS activities, which help to make the material understandable and interesting
  • A student website with videos, interactive concept reviews, image bank, and PowerPoint slides offers students the tools they need to understand the statistical concepts and learn at their own pace
