Research Methods in Sport

In a textbook for students of sport and a guide for sports scientists, Smith explains the theories, principles, and methods of conducting research in sport. After describing the context of sport research and how to select an appropriate research strategy, he describes research strategies based on a systematic review, experiments, correlation, surveys, observation, case studies, ethnography, and mixed-methods. In non-technical language he sets out key concepts, shows how to make connections between them and actual research, and describes learning activities to put research findings into practice.
