"The present book entitled Fundamental Statistics in Physical Education and Sports Sciences is tremendous effort by the author in the field of physical education and sports. There are many books available on statistics related to other subject areas but not specifically catering to the requirements of physical education and sports science. Most of the above referred books are not suitable or not match friendly to the people of physical education profession whether they are teachers, researchers or students.

Keeping in view, the feasibility and delimitations of the present text, the total text has been divided into chapter 1 to 15 plus two references chapter (XVI-XVII).

Hopefully, the present study will prove very handy and useful for the physical education and sports researchers, teachers, students, coaches, evaluators, physical educators, etc., in many ways." (jacket)
