A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This discussion of the effiecient of movement is from a multidisciplinary perspective. It explores the process by which humans optimize their energy expenditure in learning and controlling movements.

� propos de l?auteur

W.A. Sparrow, PhD, is currently a senior lecturer in the School of Health Sciences at Deakin University, Australia. A major focus of his work has been metabolic energy expenditure and movement coordination and control.

Sparrow's work has been published in such scholarly journals as the Journal of Motor Behavior and the Psychonomic Bulletin and Review. The major theme of this book had its origins in a paper titled "The Efficiency of Skilled Performance," which appeared in the Journal of Motor Behavior in 1983. This work proposed that references to "economy" or "efficiency" in traditional definitions of motor expertise could be studied experimentally by examining the effects of practice on the metabolic energy expended to achieve the motor task goal.

Sparrow received his PhD at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, where he also worked as a research assistant in the Motor Behavior Laboratory under the supervision of Karl Newell.

He and his wife, Helen, reside in Melbourne, Australia. His leisure time activities include reading and swimming.
