Synopsis:
Statistics need not be complicated. This new edition of Statistics in Kinesiology is proof! It presents material in a way that readers of all backgrounds will find both easy to read and easy to comprehend. The book features a logical organization, simplified formula notation, and several new sections on the latest statistical techniques. Geared toward students without advanced math skills, this updated text examines many statistical techniques commonly used in the various professions and disciplines of physical education, exercise science, and leisure studies/recreation. Statistics in Kinesiology, Second Edition, uses examples exclusively from kinesiology and related fields to present statistical concepts and procedures. Students find it easier to understand these concepts because the examples are relevant to their field. They are able to work with data and variables similar to what they will encounter in their careers, making the learning process more applicable and enjoyable. The book leads readers through a series of statistical concepts that build logically on one another. The easy-to-understand symbols used for the formulas let students concentrate on the concepts and their meanings rather than on confusing details and notations. A flowchart helps students determine the correct statistical procedure for the data they want to analyze. This second edition also includes a new chapter on factorial analysis of variance along with new sections within other chapters on factor analysis, discriminate analysis, Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA for ranked data, and Friedman's two-way ANOVA by ranks. In addition, more sample problems have been added at the end of each chapter so students have an opportunity to test their knowledge. Simple, clear, and above all practical, Statistics in Kinesiology, Second Edition, will give your students a sound grounding in statistical techniques.
