SCOND6005 Data Analysis and Applied Statistics

This course is designed to investigate the collection, management, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data for various purposes applied to strength and conditioning. Purposes include athlete profiling, monitoring training, talent identification and applied research. The criteria for selecting appropriate tests such as reliability and validity are explored to provide a rationale for data collection. Students will learn to select tests, collect and manage data sets, analyse the data, interpret results, and report them in a meaningful way to coaches and athletes. Magnitude based statistics commonly used in strength and conditioning are also explored. Alongside this, students will be equipped to compare and contrast magnitude based statistics with traditional null hypothesis testing. This strength and conditioning specific course contributes to meeting the 'Data handling and management' competency standard required for the ESSA Level 1 Sports Science accreditation.
