Motor Learning and Performance, Sixth Edition, constructs a conceptual model of factors that influence motor performance, outlines how motor skills are acquired and retained with practice, and shows how to apply those concepts to a variety of real-world settings.

Offers an introduction to the field that focuses on motor behaviour that can be observed directly as well as the many factors that affect the quality of these performances and the ease with which they can be learned. It frames the important issues, theories, people and research from the field in a reader-friendly way.
