Research Methods in Sport (Active Learning in Sport Series)

Description

Review I really like the depth of coverage with regard to the different types of research methods and this is important to students who are looking at rersearch for the very first time. It's also highly unusal to have a text that looks specifically at sport research and this is another benefit to our students. The text is very easy to understand with excellent opportunities to extend the subject area in specific areas. We'll be using this and recomending it as an integral text for our students. --Lecturer, Leeds Metropolitan UniversityThere is a constant need to be 'current' in Research Methodology within this area of study. This text is not only filled with current methodologies but give clear and easily assimilable guidance to students and staff. After reading my inspection copy I have already advised several of my research students to get a copy! --Lecturer, York St. John UniversityThe book communicates a useful blend of theoretical material, previous literature, key references and authors with practical research method applications in sport... which will assist student to look at methods in practice in sport. As a teaching text it is more than useful for students to have at hand. --Lecturer, University of Central Lancashire Synopsis "Research Methods in Sport" is a comprehensive resource for all those studying Sport at college or university.
