Fallproof!-2nd Edition

Learn how to complete multiple neck stretches with step-by-step instructions and images.

Sport Mechanics for Coaches-3rd Edition

The combination of mechanical principles with human anatomy allows you to understand sport mechanics.

Motor Control and Learning 5th Edition eBook

One of the most frequently used and advocated off-task methods to promote learning is mental practice, in which the performance of a task is mentally rehearsed, but is this as effective as physical practice?

The Athlete's Clock

Athletes do their best to realize their genetic gifts and hard work in just a few clicks of the clock called competition. This phenomenon is seen through moments in time that serve to define the essence of sports itself.

The Athlete's Clock eBook

In athletes, stride rhythm is often coupled with breathing while running, walking, cycling, or rowing. This is called entrainment of ventilation and locomotion.

Motor Learning and Development

Distribution of practice refers to the amount of practice during each period and the amount of rest between practice sessions in order to ensure optimal learning of motor skills (Magill, 2007).

Motor Control in Everyday Actions eBook

What are generalized motor programs, and what do keystroke dynamics reveal about them?

Perceptual-Motor Activities for Children eBook With Web Resource

Using jump ropes or tape on the floor, create a series of lines in a pattern similar to that of spokes on a wheel (see diagram). Place active learning cards (in any order) in each space between the lines.

Advanced Analysis of Motor Development

Perhaps the best way to appreciate how the characteristics of dynamic systems can be used to model motor development is to see how a research team used dynamic systems to address a particular developmental issue.

Advanced Analysis of Motor Development

If early developing motor differences exist, then assessment of these deficits may aid in identifying children at risk for ASD at a younger age than is currently possible.

Articles and Links

Explanation of the three-step decision training model

The decision-training model has three steps and includes seven cognitive skills, seven cognitive triggers, and seven decision-training tools.

Feedback plays many roles in movement production and control

Learn more about various functions of feedback in movement control, such as how we can conceptualize these functions as acting before a movement, during a movement, and after a movement.

Cutting wood and missing putts

How are constant error, variable error, and absolute error useful for understanding motor control?
