Perception, Cognition, and Decision Training

Of all the gaze within the scan path in golf, only one has emerged as an indicator of both higher levels of skill and accuracy.

Motor Control and Learning-5th Edition

Here we will discuss information processing as it relates to human motor behavior �specifically how information is processed for the specific purpose of producing skilled movement.

The Athlete's Clock eBook

The concept of pacing is rooted in the idea that athletes make cognitive, purposeful decisions regarding velocity based on previous experience and sensory input.

Motor Control in Everyday Actions eBook

What are the roles of motor error and hypervigilance in unintended acceleration accidents?

Perceptual-Motor Activities for Children eBook With Web Resource

Educators who want to help children develop to their full potential must educate the whole child by addressing physical, mental, and emotional needs. Many programs at elementary schools focus on academic and emotional development, but how many address children�s physical development?

Biomechanics of Skeletal Muscles

When a fully activated muscle or a fiber is stretched with a moderate speed from one constant length to another, the force recorded on its end exceeds the maximum isometric force at the same muscle length.

Biomechanics of Skeletal Muscles eBook

The �intrasarcomere� mechanisms, such as the actin�myosin interaction, are mentioned only in passing. It is assumed that the readers are familiar with these mechanisms from courses in muscle physiology.

Advanced Analysis of Motor Development

Here we focus on the development of striking, throwing, and kicking. Most developmental studies on ballistic projectile skills have been based in developmental sequence theory, although a few studies are beginning to address issues from a dynamic systems perspective.

Motor Learning and Performance 5th Edition With Web Study Guide

Because skills make up such a large part of human life, scientists and educators have been trying for centuries to understand the determinants of skills and the factors that affect their performance.

Life Span Motor Development 6th Edition eBook With Web Study Guide

Several manipulative skills are basic to sport performance. In these skills, a performer must gain possession or control of an object by reaching to intercept a moving object or stopping it with an implement.
