Movement System Variability

by Keith Davids

In the groundbreaking text Movement System Variability, internationally known scientists synthesize the latest research in the study of variability in the human movement system and provide an in-depth, multidisciplinary analysis for researchers in human movement sciences and related fields. The unique dynamical systems perspective of Movement System Variability adds a new theoretical interpretation to the role of variability in movement behavior. An array of scientific disciplines is represented in the text to offer insights into the nature and role of variability observed at different levels of analysis.Movement System Variability is organized into five Behavioral analysis of variability in the movement system Variability, performance, and excellence Issues in measurement Variability across the life span Variability within subsystemsThis essential reference book provides fresh insights into the nature and function of variability. Just as important, it demonstrates how an understanding of variability can enhance the practice of educators, teachers, coaches, physiotherapists, and developmental specialists. This book is an ideal reference for researchers or students interested in the human movement sciences.
