About
Students in sport, exercise, and/or health sciences should have the skill set to critique or create research that informs applied practice and/or recommendations in their field or profession. Thus, the purpose of this course is to discuss how to identify, develop, and conduct ethical and rigorous research and provide examples of ethical and rigorous sport or epidemiological research. This course will begin with an introduction to research methods and ethics, and research questions or purposes that inform study design. An overview of quantitative and qualitative research methods, analyses, and merit will be shared and discussed. This class will also cover other more recently relevant approaches to the development and application of health sciences research. Thus, the purposes of and approaches to mixed methods designs, participatory research methods, and knowledge translation in health sciences and applied practices will be shared and discussed.
