This fully revised and updated new edition describes the research process, from identifying a research question to analyzing data, and uses real world scenarios to help students and industry professionals understand how to conduct research and apply the results in their wider work.

The book includes clear, step-by-step instructions for the analysis and interpretation of data. It explains how to use Excel and SPSS for every key statistic and statistical technique, with screenshots illustrating every step and additional scenarios providing further context. ""In Practice"" contributions from sport industry professionals demonstrate how these practitioners use statistical analyses in their everyday tasks, and this new edition includes expanded sections on conducting a literature review and research ethics, as well as ancillary materials for instructors including slides, test questions, data files, answer sheets, and videos.
