This review is from: Motor Learning: Concepts and Applications (Brown & Benchmark) (Hardcover)
I have used this text this year in my motor learning class. It covers all the basics from both a motor program view as well as a dynamic systems view and is a must for any student interested in teaching, coaching or applying motor learning techniques to their everyday lives.
5.0 out of 5 stars
