Motor behavior : connecting mind and body for optimal performance / Jeffrey C. Ives, Professor and Graduate Program Chair, Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, Ithaca College, Ithaca, New York. - 2nd edition. - xiii, 340 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction to motor behavior and the mind-body connection --
Neural mechanisms in planning and initiating movement --
Peripheral neuromuscular mechanisms in executing movement --
Peripheral sensory systems in monitoring movement --
Movement models --
Measuring and evaluating motor skills and motor abilities --
Learning and the development of expertise --
Information processing and motor skill performance --
Practice and instruction --
Postural control in wellness and performance --
Functional training.
This title takes a functional approach to motor control and learning that is in keeping with the modern use and understanding of these topics. This title is truly unique in that it goes beyond just explaining motor control and motor learning to help students understand how these disciplines interact with each other to affect behaviour.
