Reviews

I have found this text to be helpful in engaging my students and creating a leaning environment that is interactive. As a result I have had a positive interchange between instructor and students. Charla Bouranis, Salem State University, USA Within my 17 years of teaching in higher education, I have never adopted another textbook for teaching Motor Learning because this text is so complete.
