This is the best statistics text I have come across in 7 years of teaching on undergraduate sport degrees. Students have always struggled to see the application of statistics to their degree & Statistics for Sports and Exercise Scienceeliminates this problem, - Dr Mick Wilkinson, Department of Sport Sciences, Northumbria University

Easily the best book in the area, specific material for sport students. - Dr Rodney Kennedy, School of Sport Studies, University of Ulster

I really like the Newell book and will definitely be recommending it to the students on my two research methods modules... The information in the book is first clal#D
