Bridging the gap between theory and practice, Measurement and Evaluation in Physical Education and Exercise Science, Fourth Edition provides a practical approach to measurement and evaluation techniques used in K-12 school physical education programs and in exercise science settings. Comprehensive and "user-friendly," this book clearly articulates how measurement techniques can be used to assess, evaluate, and develop more effective programs. Links between measurement and evaluation techniques to program design and development help readers understand how the two are directly related. Pedagogical concerns such as decision making, grading, and assessment of program delivery introduce accountability measures and help new professionals in physical education or exercise science get up to speed.
