Human Motor Development

Synopsis

How does a child learn to walk? Can people become more physically fit in their 60s than they were in their 20s? Do physical abilities inevitably decline with age? Human Motor Development: A Lifespan Approach offers a broad perspective on the movement changes that occur throughout our lives. The text explores both the physical factors that play a role in the way we move and the social and cognitive factors that contribute to and affect motor development. The seventh edition has been rigorously updated to include the most current research findings in the field.
