The Psychology of Mental Imagery in Movement and Action provides an up-to-date evaluation of mental imagery research, from a theoretical and applied understanding, and presents new findings on how the field of mental imagery has progressed in the areas of movement and action. Mental imagery has become one of the most widely adopted psychological training techniques by coaches, athletes, and mental performance practitioners, with extensive research proving its benefit for athletic and general populations in preparing for competition, reducing anxiety, improving the performance of motor skills, and rehabilitating from injury. In recent years, mental imagery research has experienced a resurgence with new findings providing greater clarity on how mental imagery may work and how it may best be implemented by practitioners to enhance successful outcomes.The Psychology of Mental Imagery in Movement and Action explores these new findings and may inform an enhanced understanding of mental imagery theory, procedures, protocols, strategies, and techniques aimed at enhancing the performance and learning of movement and action. Discussed in this book are key areas of mental imagery practice across different settings and populations such as action preparation and performance, strategies for designing and delivering imagery interventions, optimizing strength performance, and emerging areas of research and applied imagery practice.Practical implications are provided for those practitioners who may be involved in developing movement and action, including coaches, rehabilitation specialists, and mental performance consultants and is key reading for academics and students alike in the field of sport psychology.

Integrating theory with practice, this core textbook provides a structured and sequential introduction to motor learning and motor control. Part 1 begins by introducing what motor learning is and how movement is controlled, before exploring how a learning environment may be manipulated to assist in the learning and performance of movement skills. Part 2 explores motor control from neural, behavioural and dynamic systems perspectives. Part 3 provides an overview of considerations in applying motor learning and skill acquisition principles to physical education, exercise and sports science. Chapters are illustrated with flowcharts and diagrams to aid students' understanding, and include activities and end-of-chapter review questions to consolidate knowledge.Motor Learning and Skill Acquisition is essential reading for all Physical Education, Exercise and Sports Science and Sports Coaching students.New to this Edition:- New and updated chapters on skill acquisition approaches, talent identification and development, and performance analysis and feedback as well as separate chapters on practice design and task modification, and practice organisation and planning- Contains additional content on decision-making, tactical and strategic skills, traditional and constraints-led skill acquisition approaches, practice design, and skill-drill and game-based practice for skill acquisition- Supported by a bank of online lecturer resources, including PowerPoints, MCQs and lab activities

Authors Ray Breed and Michael Spittle, long recognized as experts in the game sense model and teaching games for understanding approach, have created a complete resource for physical educators and coaches of games and team sports.Their new book, Developing Game Sense in Physical Education and Sport, provides both the theoretical foundation and the practical application that teachers and coaches need to confidently teach their students and athletes the skills and game sense they need to successfully compete in games and sports.This text, inspired by the authors’ previous book, Developing Game Sense Through Tactical Learning, offers new material since the publication of that 2011 book, particularly in relation to curriculum, assessment, and physical literacy. “Our version of a game sense model has been modified over time and adjusted to meet the changing needs and requirements of learners and programs,” Breed says. “This book is an updated and improved variation of our original book, and it will assist teachers and coaches in integrating game sense into their sessions and curricula.”Through Developing Game Sense in Physical Education and Sport, teachers and coaches will be able to do the following: Provide a logical sequence and step-by-step instructions for maximal learning, skill transfer, and game skill developmentAccelerate learning by linking technical, tactical, and strategic similarities in three thematic game categories (There are 19 invasion games, 13 striking and fielding games, and 14 net and wall games.)Save preparation and planning time by using the extensive planning and game implementation resourcesSet up games with ease and effectively relate game sense concepts by following the 90 illustrations and diagrams created for those purposesThe text includes curriculum ideas and specific units for children ages 8 to 16. Unit plan chapters provide six sessions for each of the two skill levels (easy to moderate and moderate to difficult). The book also offers assessment tools and guidance for measuring learning as well as links to different curriculum frameworks. The appendixes supply teachers and coaches with useful tools, including score sheets, performance assessment and self-assessment tools, session plan outlines, and more.Developing Game Sense in Physical Education and Sport takes into account regional differences in the game sense model and teaching games for understanding approach. Its organization will facilitate users’ ready application of the material. The text first provides an overview and theoretical framework of the concepts of skill, skill development, game sense, and assessment. It then goes on to explore the links between fundamental motor skills, game sense, and physical literacy. Later chapters offer thematic unit and lesson plans as well as assessment ideas. Practical resources, game ideas and descriptions, and assessment ideas are supplied, along with the practical application of game sense, teaching for skill transfer, structuring games, developing questioning techniques, and organizing sessions.Developing Game Sense in Physical Education and Sport will allow coaches and teachers to develop the tactical, technical, and strategic skills their athletes and students need in game contexts. Coaches and teachers will also be able to help learners develop personal, social, and relationship skills. As a result, learners will be able to more effectively participate in, and enjoy, team games.
