This module forms an essential element underpinning all the other modules within the School. It provides students with an understanding of the nature of science and the application of the scientific method to the study of sport, exercise and health, and fundamental skills in data management, analysis and interpretation. The module is split into two separate but inter-related halves.

Part A Research Methods & Design - examines the fundamental assumptions underlying both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, sampling, validity, reliability, and experimental design. Part B Computational Statistics - The purpose of this module is for students to understand research processes in sport, health, and exercise sciences covering computational statistics 1 Computational Skills 2 Computer (SPSS) Skills 3 Subject specific interpretational skills

The purpose of this module is for students to understand research processes in sport, health, and exercise sciences covering Computational Statistics and Research Methods. In Part A students will cover data management in SPSS, quantitative research methods, and qualitative research methods and analysis In Part B students will cover ANOVA and regression based analyses
