ABSTRACT
The use of biostatistics in experimental physiology is recognised by researchers. However, there has been no concerted attempt to integrate biostatistics into the undergraduate experimental physiology programme. This paper describes one such initiative. The student's response to the exercise was largely positive; it enabled them to describe and interpret data more effectively and understand the experiments more completely. The attitudes of the students to the exercise and their performance at a statistics examination at the end of the exercise was determined by a number of parameters, including prior statistical knowledge, general academic performance and the extent to which they liked mathematics. However, even those students who disliked mathematics indicated that they appreciated the value of the exercise. The results indicate the need to integrate biostatistics into the undergraduate physiology course.
