This course is an introduction to the principles of epidemiology and their application to sports science. We will address the role of epidemiology in investigating sports injuries and other factors in sports performance. The course also stresses clinical research design methods utilized in sports science research as well as general clinical research designs such as clinical trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, and other pragmatic designs. There will also be an emphasis on the analysis and application of the current scientific literature as it relates to sports medicine and sports performance.
