Book Introduction
"Statistics in Physical Education" has been consistently used as a basic statistics textbook in physical education and related academic fields for over 30 years. Through this book, countless undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers, have laid the foundation for statistics and developed statistical thinking skills that can be applied in research settings.
This revised edition reflects academic trends and educational needs over the past decade, organizing methodologies not yet used in practice and reorganizing the content around analysis techniques frequently utilized in various academic fields.

Today's research environment is changing rapidly.
Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, computers are quickly taking over complex calculations.
However, simply accepting the 'correct answer' and understanding the logical validity of the process by which that answer was derived are two entirely different matters.
"Statistics in Physical Education" begins with the basics of calculation processes and systematically guides readers to understand the logical structure of statistical inference. In the beginner and intermediate levels, students learn the essence of statistics by solving problems using a pocket calculator. After reaching a certain level, it presents actual analysis cases using computer programs, providing a balanced combination of theory and practice.

This book goes beyond mere computational training; it helps researchers answer fundamental questions in real-world research situations: "Which method should I choose?" and "How should I interpret the analysis results?"
It provides basic yet practical methodologies necessary for researchers in various fields, including physical education, behavioral science, education, and social science, thereby enhancing academic expandability.
Additionally, it was designed for educational practicality so that it can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses, and it was also written so that it is suitable for teachers and practitioners in research fields to acquire and apply statistical techniques through self-study.

Publisher's Review
Today, with the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, statistics is no longer just a research aid, but an essential research language.
However, if researchers simply accept the results presented by the computer, they will not be able to exercise the power of statistical thinking.
"Sports Statistics" systematically presents everything from the basics of calculation procedures to actual analysis cases, focusing on developing researchers' ability to correctly understand and interpret results.

This revised edition will go beyond simply being a textbook for physical education; it will serve as a reliable guide for all researchers, undergraduate and graduate students seeking to conduct empirical research in a variety of academic fields.
