The purpose of this text is to help the physical education, exercise
science, or kinesiology major develop the necessary confidence and
skills to conduct measurement techniques properly and effectively.
However, more than just measurement techniques are presented. Emphasis
is placed upon the reasons for the measurement and the responsibilities
after measurement is completed. These inclusions should help the student
develop an appreciation of the need for measurement in a variety of
settings. In addition, every effort has been made to present all the
material in an uncomplicated way, and only practical measurement
techniques are included.
