Well Thumbed! - By: A. J. Thomas, 01 Nov 2008 
I bought this book some time ago on the recommendation of my supervisor. I have now completed my MPhil on ICTin Physical Education. Having done the research 300 miles away from the university, this book was my first port of call over & above the internet. Although it lacks depth at times (It could not inform me of the significance of low r values for example), it sets you off on the right lines. I agree with the other review that states that this is a well written book. It is very clear to follow & understand the concepts. This was placed on top of my desk & I don't think a day went by without me needing to thumb through it.
Review of Research Methods in Physical Activity - By: , 13 Feb 2003 This is a well written & fairly comprehensive book that manages to cover all aspects of research design, as well as statistical concepts. As a Sports Science student, I have found this book invaluablein pulling together the ideas & statistical concepts that are necessary for a student to have a good overview of this subject. It is writtenin a style that has included humour, which is a bonusin what is essentially quite a dry scientific subject. I have found this book to be of great helpin understanding & becoming more competentin deciding what is an apropriate research design, & choosing the correct statistical test. I would recommend this book to any Sports Science student!
A must for physiotherapy reasearch and students - By: , 16 Oct 2001 
This book gives a clear definition on the way to go about setting up & carrying out a research project. Guides you step by step with easy to follow examples. It is excellent for post-grad work & should also be of value to the smarter undergrad student. Although the lengthy reading may seem boring it isin essence what research protocol is all about.
