Motor Learning and Performance

The student-friendly third edition of Motor Learning and Performance expands on the fundamentals of motor performance and learning, providing valuable supporting literature and current research results. The text shows students how to apply the principles of motor learning and performance in a variety of real-world situations, including teaching, coaching, the design of performer-friendly equipment and work environments, rehabilitation, and everyday motor skill learning. Readers will gain a practical model for finding solutions to a wide range of problems. Like the previous edition, Motor Learning and Performance, Third Edition, continues to combine a conceptual model of human performance with a problem-based learning approach. Students will learn by doing to identify solutions that encompass many of the problems encountered when teaching and learning motor skills. Plus, the text's straightforward language makes it easy to understand even for students with little or no knowledge of physiology, psychology, statistical methods, and other basic sciences.
