Presenting the latest research in the field of human movement, this updated edition introduces readers to key concepts concerning the anatomical, mechanical, physiological, neural, and psychological bases of human movement. It provides students with a broad foundation for more detailed study of the subdisciplines of human movement and for cross-disciplinary studies. Readers will learn the multi-dimensional changes in movement and movement potential that occur throughout the life span as well as those changes that occur as adaptations to training, practice and other lifestyle factors.
