Beschreibung

Magill's Motor Learning and Control: Concepts and Applications introduces the study of motor learning and control to students pursuing careers in exercise science, physical education, and other movement-oriented fields. Each chapter presents motor learning and control as a set of principles and guidelines based on research evidence. Recent scholarship is interpreted and used to explore core concepts and basic theory. Application Problems guide students to consider real-world applications of the theory and research they have studied. The authors' clear writing style and practical applications will help students build a solid foundation and prepare them for further exploration on their own.
