Guidelines for Designing and Conducting Research Studies in Physical FitnessTraining

摘要

Theoretical and practical guidelines for designing and conducting physicalfitness training studies are given, based on the experience of the investigators of NATO-Research Study Group 17: 'Biomedical aspects of Physical training'. The guidelines are illustrated by examples taken from previous training studies. Simple statistical methods are also described to calculate various parameters of injury incidence rates and risks, confidence limits about incidence rates and to compare two incidence rates in training risks studies.
