Exclusion criteria are those specific qualities or characteristics that eliminate a subject from participating in a research study.

Mixed-methods research uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches in the methodology of the study.

Basic research is often used to generate a solution to an immediate problem.

Reliability must be demonstrated prior to using an instrument to collect data about a human or animal research subject.

Translational research is conducted to make the connection between basic research and clinical application.

Research that involves the collection and analysis of numerical data typically obtained from subjects through direct testing or questionnaires is called:

Basic research involves human volunteers that is meant to add to medical knowledge.

Conclusions about the research study are often derived from the independent variable.

A systematic study directed toward increasing knowledge, with the primary aim being a greater understanding of the topic or subject under study is called:

The independent variable often represents data that is collected about a human subject during a research study.

Research aimed to discover new and unknown knowledge without regard for any specific application is called:

Applied research is often used to generate a solution to an immediate problem.

A response, behavior, or outcome that a researcher wishes to predict or explain is called:

Research that acquires solutions to an immediate practical problem is called:

An arrangement whereby the originator of the work grants to the assignee the rights to publish, reproduce, sell, or distribute the material is called:

Validity informs a researcher about how easy it is to replicate the results of a study.

The scientific method is the most commonly used way to generate knowledge in exercise science.

The most commonly used way to generate knowledge in exercise science is by using:

Qualitative research uses a scientific approach designed for the collection and analysis of numerical data typically obtained from subjects through direct testing or questionnaires.
