Motor
Learning Applied to Sport uses sport (competitive athletics)
as the point of reference in the discussion of motor learning
theories. The main themes of motor learning are discussed and
organized in an outline form. An introduction to the history of
motor learning is covered. A discussion of topics related to the
individual performer, models and theories explaining skill acquisition
and a discussion on the factors that influence performance are
all discussed. At the beginning of each chapter are "key words"
and "key topics" that the student should learn in that chapter.
