Development of Movement Coordination in Children

John van der Kamp, Geert Savelsbergh, Keith Davids, Simon J. Bennett

'Very well-structured, well-written and important contribution to the motor learning literature. Many individuals, including students, teachers and those working in the sport, health and exercise sciences will find in it a great deal of valuable information, and therefore I strongly recommend it to those working in these fields.' - European Physical Education Review
