Evidence-supported practice integrates scientific evidence into decision-making for sport sciences teams, relying on the critical appraisal of research methodology and adept interpretation of statistical findings to uphold best practices. This course enhances students' understanding of research designs, statistical methods, practice guidelines, and knowledge translation strategies for diverse end users.

The course emphasizes the development skills in retrieving and evaluating primary research, interpreting statistical approaches, appraising evidence types (e.g., experimental data, observational studies, and meta-analyses), and synthesizing findings for evidence-based decisions.

Students will practice communicating research and statistical insights considering researchers, practitioners, athletes, and the public via reports, presentations, and visualizations of data. Implementation science and knowledge translation frameworks, paired with statistical reasoning, will strengthen practical application. Lectures, problem-based learning, case studies, and assignments will develop both knowledge and skills in evidence-supported practice.
