Co-ordination of movement plays a key role in human development and is an important area in sport and health sciences. This book looks in detail at how children develop basic skills, such as walking and reaching for objects, and more complex skills such as throwing and catching a ball accurately or riding a bicycle.
Development of Movement Co-ordination in Children is informed by five... Read more

'Very well-structured, well-written and important contribution to the motor learning literature. Many individuals, including students, teachers and those working in the sport, health and exercise sciences will find in it a great deal of valuable information, and therefore I strongly recommend it to those working in these fields.' - European Physical Education Review
