Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was one of my required texts for a recent college course. The book does not delve into great detail, but rather provides mushy blend of psychology and physiology that is ultimately too simplistic to explore motor development and decline. My teacher expressed frustration in being unable to find a true motor development text book, and he explained that this was the best among the flawed texts available. For those looking for an introduction to motor development for high school students, this might be a place to start, but if you are a college professor in search of a challenging text, please do not assign this one.

Lifelong Motor Development, Sixth Edition, is a comprehensive, science-based text covering background, theory, and research in the field of physical growth and motor behavior across the life span, as well as the practical application of these concepts. The Sixth edition focuses on the notion that the study of motor development is the study of change. In order to truly understand the multicausal and complex nature of motor development, this book was created and continues with the goal of introducing students to not a single theoretical explanation, but the most prominent theories and views that underscore our understanding of change in motor development–establishing the Sixth edition as still the most scientific, contemporary, and applicable text of its kind.
