- Book Synopsis
- The importance of the study of the scientific principles of learning human motor skills is evident in that motor learning is a required core course as set forth by the NASPE standards. Applied Motor Learning in Physical Education and Sports goes further than simply providing valuable scientific theories. Authors Jin Wang and Shihui Chen transform those theories into practice in an understandable approach by incorporating case studies and practitioners' implications, making this a comprehensive authority on the topic of motor learning. Written for undergraduate students, PE teachers, coaches, athletes and practitioners, each chapter includes: an introduction to the imperative theoretical models of motor learning, case studies and life examples that illustrate theoretical concepts that can be effectively applied to practical teaching, coaching, or motor learning settings, project topics that integrate theory with practice, clear illustrations, diagrams, and key components of concepts depicting the main ideas.
