This practical textbook provides a complete overview of the latest information on measurement and evaluation in physical education and exercise science. The text is written in straightforward, nontechnical language, and highlights not only the traditional use of tests in a school setting but also delves into more modern topics such as the use of computers and testing in non-academic environments.

Simple, yet sophisticated, Measurement Theory and Practice in Kinesiology is presented without the need to work through rigorous equation sets. The text appeals to a broad readership interested in measurement. Researchers and students can fathom the conceptual basis for topical measurement techniques and their application, and they are exposed to measurement issues in various physical activity fields. The text grounds readers in measurement basics in an easy-to-understand fashion and is for non-measurement specialists who deal with measurement in various physical activity fields.
But it goes beyond simple. It takes full advantage of the advances in computer technology and programming to offer an array of advanced test construction and modeling methodologies to researchers and practitioners. And it describes new methods in handling both large and small data sets.
Measurement Theory and Practice in Kinesiology provides a contemporary reference on measurement issues. The authors take both a broad and focused look at measurement issues in the physical domain. Readers learn about the tools that can facilitate their more advanced work, particularly with regard to statistical techniques, and learn practical applications in areas such as educational assessment and preemployment physical testing.
The book is divided into four parts. Part I introduces readers to measurement basics, including validity, reliability, and test construction. Part II explores current issues in measurement, including ethical issues, computerized adaptive testing, item bias, and scaling and equating measures. Part III focuses on advanced statistical techniques, including analysis of large and small data sets, analysis of longitudinal data, and structural equation modeling and its applications. In part IV, the authors look at measurement in practice, current issues in physical education, measurement of physical activity, measurement issues in the clinical setting, epidemiology and physical activity, and preemployment physical testing.
With this simple yet sophisticated approach, Measurement Theory and Practice in Kinesiology can be used by students in graduate-level introductory measurement courses or as a reference by researchers and clinicians in the allied health professions.

Joe Hawthorne is an ordinary guy, or at least he used to think so. A military vet, former pilot, and struggling writer, Joe is living his underachieving, mildly messed-up life in the manner in which he's become accustomed: quietly. All that changes drastically, and dangerously, when long-lost cousin and childhood chum Tommy Valentine begins appearing at Joe's regular Seattle hang-outs. Tommy encourages Joe to seek out Dr. Sara Spencer, an unorthodox but insightful psychiatrist. She quickly diagnoses Joe as having hidden childhood memories that are the key to understanding his current problems. The fact that his childhood hometown was flooded many years earlier by a hydroelectric project is just the beginning of Joe's troubles. Joe begins a difficult process of self-discovery but quickly finds himself falling in love with his beautiful therapist. He also finds that others are strangely interested in his damaged psyche, and that their motivations are far from innocent. Joe's efforts to uncover the mystery of his childhood memories go awry when the people he seeks out begin to die in spectacular fashion. With the body count quickly increasing, and his own life and freedom in jeopardy, Joe makes a fateful decision in an all or nothing gamble to understand the past and banish his personal demons. In doing so, a far more ancient mystery will be uncovered, one that people will to kill to discover. To survive the epic battle with unknown enemies and the darker aspects of his own soul, Joe must use every trick and resource at his disposal, whether legal or extra-legal. With only his wits and his faithful dog Shovelhead to count on, Joe's chances of success are slim. In the end, he finds you can go home again. But you might not survive the journey.
