Ntoumanis and Myers have done sport and exercise science researchers and students a tremendous service in producing an introduction to Intermediate and Advanced Statistical Analyses for Sport and Exercise Scientists. Authors hit the mark between using technical language as necessary and user-friendly terms or translations to keep users encouraged. Text covers traditional and well-used tools but also less common and more complex tools, but always with familiar examples to make their explanations come alive. The domain of quantitative methods is constantly evolving and expanding. This means that there is tremendous pressure on researchers to stay current, both in terms of best practices and improvements in more traditional methods as well as increasingly complex new methods. With this volume Ntoumanis and Myers present a cross-section of both, helping sport and exercise science researchers to address old questions in better ways, and, even more excitingly, to address new questions entirely. This book introduces the reader to a wide variety ot intermediate and advanced statistical tests that are utilised within the sport and exercise science/ kinesiology field. The first part of this book explores widely employed statistical tests including ANOVA. MANOVA and mediation and moderation via regressions. The later chapters examine more advanced and less frequently used tests and procedures such as sample size and power determination, exploratory structural equation modeling and mixture modeling. Key features: • Provides a wide variety of intermediate to advanced statistical tests with all examples being specific to sport and exercise sciences • Each chapter has step-by-step explanations of the required procedures and a nontechnical interpretation of the findings • Written by a diverse international group of experts in quantitative methodology • A supporting website featuring a variety of detailed program code, primarily SPSS and MPIus, screenshots and datasets to enable readers to replicate the examples presented throughout the book. Contents: 1 Factorial ANOVA and MANOVA 2 Repeated measures ANOVA and MANOVA 3 Mediation and moderation via regression analysis 4 Item response theory and its applications in Kinesiology 5 Introduction to factor analysis and structural equation modeling 6 Invariance testing across samples and time: Cohort sequence analysis of perceived body composition 7 Crosslagged structural equation modeling and latent growth modeling 8 Exploratory structural equation modeling and Bayesian estimation 9 A gentle introduction to mixture modeling using physical fitness performance data 10 Multilevel (structural equation) modeling 11 Application of metaanalysis in sport and exercise science 12 Reliability and stability of variables/instruments used in sport science and sport medicine This book provides an excellent resource for researchers and postgraduate students who need to use complex and statistical techniques. Postgraduate students and researchers in health, psychology and education will also find this book beneficial.
