Life Span Motor Development, Seventh Edition With HKPropel Access,
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.
The seventh edition expands the tradition of making the student's
experience with motor development an interactive one. Related
online learning tools delivered through HKPropel 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 HKPropel, 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: Content related to physical
growth and development of the skeletal, muscle, and adipose systems
is reorganized chronologically for a more logical progression. New
material on developmental motor learning demonstrates the overlap
between the disciplines of motor development and motor learning.
New insights into motor competence help explain the relationship
between skill development and physical fitness. 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. Life Span Motor Development, Seventh
Edition, 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. Note: A code for accessing
HKPropel is included with all new print books.
