In doing so, the book questions the underlying assumptions and development of science itself. Written by a range of internationally respected philosophers, scientists and social scientists, each chapter addresses a key issue in research methodology. Questions asked by the authors include: Do natural and social scientists need to understand the philosophy of science? Are statistics misused in sport and exercise science research? Is sport science research gender-biased? How do external and commercial interests skew professional guidelines in health and sport reserach? Should scientists focus their attention on confirmation of theories, or on attempts to falsify them? Philosophy and the Sciences of Exercise, Health and Sport serves notice to exercise, health and sport researchers to think more philosophically about their subject and its scientific bases. It is essential reading for postgraduate researchers seeking to establish a sound theoretical foundation for their work. 606 $aSports sciences$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $aExercise$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $aSports$xHealth aspects$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $aExercise$xHealth aspects$xResearch$xMethodology 615 0$aSports sciences$xResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aExercise$xResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aSports$xHealth aspects$xResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aExercise$xHealth aspects$xResearch$xMethodology. 676 $a796/.01 686 $a76.10$2bcl 701 $aMcNamee$b M.
