内容説明

This book explores the fascinating subject of motor development from birth through adulthood. The most comprehensive and up-to-date, scientifically based text available, Lifelong Motor Development, Third Edition, reviews the latest theory and research to help students understand physical growth and motor development across the lifespan. The nature/nurture theme pervades the text, stimulating critical thinking and giving the student an exciting perspective with which to consider the biological and environmental influences on the various aspects of motor development.
