The October issue of the ICSSPE Journal, the Bulletin No 69, is online. Its special feature is called ‘Research Methodology for Sport Science’, edited by Herbert Haag.

This Bulletin issue starts with an introduction into the topic, followed by five articles from British and German authors, dealing with different aspects of the topic.

The following articles are part of the collection:
