Motor Behavior: Connecting Mind and Body for Optimal
Performance
J. Ives
Motor Behavior
takes a functional approach to motor control and learning that
is in keeping with the modern use and understanding of these topics. It takes the
basic concepts of motor learning and motor control and integrates them to discuss
questions such as how our emotions affect physiological outcome. This title is
unique in that it goes beyond just explaining motor control and motor learning to
help students understand how these disciplines interact with each other to affect
behavior.

Biomechanical Basis of Human Movement,
4th Edition
J. Hamill, K. Knutzen
Focusing on the quantitative nature of biomechanics,
Biomechanical
Basis of Movement
, Fourth Edition integrates current literature, meaningful
numerical examples, relevant applications, hands-on exercises, and functional
anatomy, physics, calculus, and physiology to help students—regardless of
their mathematical background— understand the full continuum of human
movement potential.
Unique in the market for its combination of rigour, readability, and evidence-
based information, the book focuses on the movement of muscle groups
rather than individual muscles to provide students with a holistic understanding of human
movement.
This Fourth Edition features a new problem generator for instructors, which randomly generates
an unlimited number of numerical problems for student practice, and free MaxTRAQ motion
analysis software that shows biomechanics in action and allows students to track data and
analyse motion in a dynamic, video-enriched online environment.
