Abstract:	Motor Learning and Performance: From Principles to Application, Seventh Edition With HKPropel Access, constructs a conceptual model of factors that influence motor performance, outlines how motor skills are acquired and retained with practice, and shows students how to apply the concepts to a variety of real-world settings. Written in a style that is accessible even to students with little or no knowledge of physiology, psychology, statistical methods, or other basic sciences, this text enables students to appreciate high-level skilled activity and understand how such incredible performances occur.The seventh edition of Motor Learning and Performance offers a new chapter that invites students to expand their thinking about the learning process by considering various theoretical explanations for how motor learning occurs. This latest edition has been carefully revised to incorporate the most recent and important research findings in the field, and it is supplemented with practice situations to facilitate a stronger link between research-based principles and practical applications.
