Synopsis

The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) is a computer statistical program used to perform various types of statistical analyses. This book aims to teach how to use SPSS, in an applied way in the introduction to research methodologies in human motricity. To do so, we start by teaching how to prepare a data file in SPSS and then by explaining how the transformation of new variables is carried out and the conditions of applicability of parametric tests. Finally, we attend to the learning procedure of computation and interpretation of the window of results of some parametric and non-parametric tests most used in human kinetics, for a basic-intermediate level.
