Customer Reviews: Wouldn't be bad for a high school health classDecember 20, 2009 ninjasuperstar(Iowa) 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.
Excellent purchaseOctober 10, 2009 S. Taylor-Anderson(San Antonio TX, USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book was a great value. There in not much difference from the 1st edition and my professor allowed the use of this one so the cost was excellent. The information in the book is well thought through.
