This newly revised Measurement and Evaluation in Physical Education and Exercise Science, Fifth Edition continues to bridge the gap between theory and practice by examining measurement and evaluation techniques in a variety of activity settings-from coaching and teaching to adult education and community programs. The text provides measurement and evaluation models using real-life, practical examples through which students readily grasp important concepts while addressing how to integrate measurement and evaluation techniques into program design and development. As a result, future physical education teachers and practitioners are equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to assess, evaluate, and develop more effective physical education or activity programs.
