5.0 out of 5 stars the "umbrella" of motor learning, May 24, 1998
By Erik Heywood (Pjam23@yahoo.com) (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews
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.
