Features: Sports statistics is the application of methods from theoretical statistics in the field of sports. It focuses on the regularity of random phenomena in sports and provides methods for experimental design, data collection, organization, and analysis. It is an essential tool for those engaged in sports scientific research. At the same time, as one of the professional foundation courses in sports colleges, sports statistics not only directly influences students' research capabilities but also affects their learning of related courses. Currently, there are many teaching materials and specialized books on sports statistics and related methods, as well as various versions of books introducing SPSS. We have found that sports statistics textbooks and specialized books often make some students and researchers reluctant to engage with them due to the involvement of complex computational processes. On the other hand, books on SPSS struggle to effectively combine with the practical aspects of sports training, competitions, and scientific research, lacking strong relevance. Sports Statistics and SPSS attempts to organically integrate the fundamental theories of sports statistics with the specific use of SPSS. This allows readers to, while using SPSS for sports statistical analysis, not only understand the theoretical foundations of the corresponding statistical methods but also quickly obtain the results of the analysis. Detailed explanations or descriptions are provided for the statistical processes and output results involved. With the help of SPSS graphics or tables, abstract problems are made intuitive, complex problems simplified, and even simple operations are guided by scientific theory.
