Useful for undergraduates as well as master's and doctoral students, the text guides students through the process of understanding research methods and then formulating and writing a thesis or dissertation. Each chapter introduces theoretical concepts, shows how they can be applied to athletic training, and follows up with a discussion of research and clinical implications. In addition to research problems and activities, SPSS screen captures and printouts are included. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
