Abstract

The aims of this chapter are to introduce the reader to survey research and its application within health and physical activity. Depending on the reader’s intended research methods, it may be beneficial to read this chapter alongside those on interviews and focus groups, and questionnaires, given that much of the information presented in these chapters relates and informs the others to provide a more comprehensive coverage. These chapters have been presented in this way to provide an informative coverage of the topic without excessive duplication and repetition of material.
