Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text is designed to help undergraduate students apply concepts for improving athletic performance and echancing motor skill acquisition. Students learn the processes underlying skilled performance; how skilled performances are learned; and how to apply the principles of skilled performance and learning in teaching, coaching, and therapeutic settings. Dr Richard Schmidt builds a "conceptual model of human performance." Whether students are in physical education, kinesiology, psychology, the sport sciences, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or cardiac rehabilitation, they should gain a solid understanding of the conceptual, functional properties of the motor system and of human motor performance. An accompanying instructor's guide, free to anyone adopting "Motor Learning and Performance" as a course text, provides valuable suggestions, hints, and ideas for teaching. Instructors will find discussion topics, demonstrations, term paper ideas, test questions (both short-answer and correctable true/false statements), and diagrams that can easily be made into transparencies.
