Description

This updated 2nd Edition of this highly: applied text goes beyond providing the basics of motor control (Unit 1) and motor learning (Unit 2) to helping students understand how these two distinct views interact and ultimately affect outcomes (Unit 3). Taking a functional approach, Motor Behavior, 2nd Edition reflects the most recent research and guidelines from the field and brings topics to life with unique photos and illustrations that show concepts in action. A final chapter offers insights on effective training and practice strategies that connect mind and body for optimal performance.
