It encourages students to examine how the interactions of the individual, environment, and task bring about changes in a person’s movements. \u003ci\u003eLife Span Motor Development, Seventh Edition With HKPropel Access,\u003c\/i\u003e is a leading text for helping students examine and understand how interactions of the developing and maturing individual, the environment, and the task being performed bring about changes in a person’s movements. This model of constraints approach, combined with an unprecedented collection of video clips marking motor development milestones, facilitates an unmatched learning experience for the study of motor development across the life span.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The seventh edition expands the tradition of making the student’s experience with motor development an interactive one. Related online learning tools delivered through HK\u003ci\u003ePropel\u003c\/i\u003e include more than 190 video clips marking motor development milestones to sharpen observation techniques, with interactive questions and 47 lab activities to facilitate critical thinking and hands-on application. The lab activities may be assigned and tracked by instructors through HK\u003ci\u003ePropel\u003c\/i\u003e, along with chapter quizzes (assessments) that are automatically graded to test comprehension of critical concepts. The text also contains several updates to keep pace with the changing field: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContent related to physcial growth and development of the skeletal, muscle, and adipose systems is reorganized chronologically for a more logical progression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew material on developmental motor learning demonstrates the overlap between the disciplines of motor development and motor learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew insights into motor competence help explain the relationship between skill development and physical fitness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e The text helps students understand how maturational age and chronological age are distinct and how functional constraints affect motor skill development and learning. It shows how the four components of physical fitness—cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, and body composition—interact to affect a person’s movements over the life span, and describes how relevant social, cultural, psychosocial, and cognitive influences can affect a person’s movements. This edition comes with 148 illustrations, 60 photos, and 25 tables—all in full color—to help explain concepts and to make the text more engaging for students. It also retains helpful learning aids including chapter objectives, a running glossary, key points, sidebars, and application questions throughout each chapter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLife Span Motor Development, Seventh Edition,\u003c\/i\u003e embraces an interactive and practical approach to illustrate the most recent research in motor development. Students will come away with a firm understanding of the concepts and how they apply to real-world situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Note: A code for accessing HK\u003ci\u003ePropel\u003c\/i\u003e is included with this ebook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40823298392161,"sku":"9781492587248","price":87.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/176a123063eaf06a0349bcda54a168f8.png?v=1685568031","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781492587248-life-span-motor-development","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
