To facilitate effective practice, practitioners must sift through this information and retain only the best evidence to form a sound base of knowledge. \u003ci\u003eEvidence-Based Practice in Exercise Science: The Six-Step Approach\u003c\/i\u003e equips readers with the basic skills and competencies for discerning the value of scientific research. Using a methodical approach, students and professionals will learn to identify appropriate evidence to support novel interventions and avoid counterproductive or dangerous information to eliminate ineffective exercise options. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The authors, well-known advocates in the study and application of evidence-based practice in the field of exercise science, take the five-step method of evidence-based practice that has been established in medicine, adapt it specifically for exercise science, and expand it to embrace individuality in exercise training. The content is accessible for students in a variety of courses in exercise science curricula; those seeking certification through professional organizations; and practitioners in the fields of exercise, nutrition, sports medicine, and sport science. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This text is an instruction manual in understanding and applying evidence-based practice. The process is divided into six steps that begin with asking a question and then finding, evaluating, implementing, confirming, and re-evaluating the evidence.

The case studies cover topics including exercise prescription; exercise for special populations; nutrition and supplementation; and exercise devices, equipment, and apparel. Each case presents a realistic scenario that an exercise practitioner may experience, presents background information, formulates a question for investigation, describes a search of the literature, discusses the findings, and provides a recommendation for practice based on the best current evidence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvidence-Based Practice in Exercise Science\u003c\/i\u003e is grouped into four sections that assist readers in gaining a better understanding of the evidence-based practice paradigm, learning the step-by-step method, and acquiring experience in the evidence-based approach by working through practical examples using real-world scenarios. Part I offers foundational knowledge of evidence-based practice in exercise sciences. Part II introduces the six-step method of evidence-based practice with chapters that explore each step of the process in depth. Part III presents 16 case studies grouped into chapters by generaal topics. Part IV concludes the text with chapters on disseminating and sharing knowledge and the future of evidence-based practice in exercise science. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e By understanding the concepts and process of evidence-based practice, current and future sport, exercise, and health professionals will prescribe individualized programs and treatments that improve athletic performance and lead individuals toward better health. Embracing evidence-based practice will ultimately advance the field and produce optimal outcomes for clients, patients, and athletes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart I: Overview and Historical Background of Evidence-Based Practice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e The Need for Evidence-Based Practice in Exercise Science \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Evidence-Based Practice in Action \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Defining Evidence-Based Practice \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Applying Evidence-Based Practice in Exercise Science \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Team Approach to Evidence-Based Practice \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Becoming an Evidence-Based Practitioner \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Conclusion \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/b\u003eThe Process of Evidence-Based Practice \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Importance of Evidence in Exercise Science \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Applying the Five Steps of Evidence-Based Practice \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Case for Evidence-Based Practice \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Criticisms of Evidence-Based Practice \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Conclusion \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Philosophy, Science, and Evidence-Based Practice \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Epistemology \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Epistemology of Modern Science \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Paradigm of Evidence-Based Practice \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Conclusions \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/b\u003eSources of Evidence \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Sources of Knowledge \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Types of Evidence \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Conclusion \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/b\u003eReading and Interpreting Research Evidence \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Consumers of Research \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e What is Research?
