Data Sheets
The book is best used by undertaking the examples described in the chapters and the exercises at the end of the chapters. The data sets come from exercise physiology, sports psychology, sports tourism, performance analysis, coaching science and sports nutrition examples. Data sets for exercises are provided on this website allowing readers to perform tests and compare outputs with those shown in the book. Some of these data sets are Microsoft Excel files while others are SPSS data sheets.
Solutions
The solutions to the exercises at the end of chapters are not shown in the book. The website provides solutions to exercises in word documents that show the SPSS output that readers should obtain and how results are to be presented once the key statistics are extracted from the SPSS output. These solutions can be used as the reader sees fit. Some may prefer to have the solutions to hand as they do the exercises while others may wish to check the solutions after completing exercises. The author recommends applying both strategies – using the solutions as a guide for the more challenging analyses and doing earlier analyses independent of the solution.
