One-Way ANOVA Exercise

Bone mineral density was measured in three groups (N=20 each) that experienced different levels of daily musculoskeletal loading: Olympic weightlifters, Olympic swimmers, and controls. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure lumbar spine BMD (g/cm2). Since there are more than two groups, analysis of variance (ANOVA) can determine if differences exist between groups, avoiding inflated Type I error from multiple t-tests. Post-hoc tests following ANOVA can determine which groups specifically differ.

One-Way ANOVA Exercise

Bone mineral density BMD was measured in three groups (N=20 for each group) of subjects that
experience different levels of musculoskeletal loading on a daily basis. Subjects were Olympic
weightlifters, Olympic swimmers, and age-matched controls. BMD (g/cm 2) of the lumbar spine
was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The data is included in the
Excel file associated with this assignment. Since there are more than two groups, a t-test should
not be used to determine significant differences. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical
technique can be used to determine if differences exist between more than two groups. This is
primarily due to an inflation of Type I error related to conducting multiple t-tests. Following the
ANOVA, post-hoc tests can be performed to determine specifically which groups are different.
1.

Download One-Way ANOVA Exercise.xlsx from my webpage and save the file to your H:
drive.

2.

Follow the instructions in the One-Way Between worksheet and refer to the various
readings (e.g., ANOVA Ch.9 Vincent.pdf) and class notes.

3.

Repeat the statistical analysis, from question 2., in SPSS and copy and paste the output
tables from SPSS into Excel. The SPSS results should be pasted into a separate worksheet
named SPSS Between. The Word document How to perform a One-Way ANOVA in
SPSS will guide you through the necessary steps.

A sport psychologist was interested in determining the affect of alcohol on golf performance.
Twenty male subjects participated in the study at a local course. After a sufficient warm-up, each
participant hit 10 drives, which were measured for both distance and accuracy. A combined
score (distance hit - deviation from the target line) was the dependent variable. After the initial
10 drives, participants were given 10 minutes to consume a bottle of beer. Participants then
rested for an additional 10 minutes. Immediately following the rest, 10 drives were hit, followed
by 10 minutes to consume another beer. This was repeated until 7 sets of 10 drives were
completed and 6 bottles of beer were consumed. The raw data is included in the Excel file
associated with this assignment. See the tab labeled Repeated Measures ANOVA.
4.

Perform a One-way ANOVA in SPSS using the raw data. The Word document How to
perform a One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA in SPSS will guide you through the
necessary steps. According to the results, answer the questions posed in the text box. The
SPSS results should be pasted into a separate worksheet named SPSS Repeated.
