INDEX 






Movement Science: A Guide for Practitioner aims to provide readers with a grounding of the science of movement from the perspectives of Biomechanics and Motor Control Learning and Development. Intended for all movement enthusiasts from sports hobbyists to competitive athletes as well as physical education teachers and coaches, this book sets out to enhance an awareness and promote the adoption of strategies that could guide practitioners to be better at sports. The approach for this book Movement Science: A Guide for Practitioner is straightforward using a “why”, “what” and “how” framework to make it easy to read and to understand an otherwise highly technical content. In this way, we hope readers will implement the theories and concepts in their regular practice of sports and be better at it.
