Ranney, D. A. – 1982
Simple observation of dance movement, while very useful, can lead to misconceptions, about the physical realities of dance movement, that make learning difficult. This gap between reality and understanding can be reduced by the application of biomechanical techniques such as cinematography, electromyography, and force-plate analysis. Biomechanical…

Higgins, Joseph R. – 1977
The study of human movement is presented from an integrated perspective influenced by the fields of motor learning, experimental psychology, neuropsychology, kinesiology, biomechanics, and human factors engineering. The level of presentation is directed toward upperclass undergraduate and graduate students in physical education and others pursuing…

Broekhoff, Jan, Ed. – 1976
The papers included in this publication encompass research studies in physical fitness, the physiology of exercise, anthropometry, motor learning, teaching methodology, and personality. Many of these papers accentuate physical components; others identify different variables in the composite of personality such as the mental, social, and emotional…

Peer reviewedSkaggs, S. O.; And Others – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 1994
This study compared the batting swing of two skilled congenitally blind beep baseball players to a perfect kinetic-link model for the batting skill. It found that the subjects used a modified batting technique and that there was an inverse relationship between the subjects' performances and the kinetic-link model. (Author)

Flatten, Kay; Mathes, Sharon – Journal of Physical Education and Recreation, 1981
A laboratory for undergraduate physical education students was designed to apply academic theory to practical questions concerning the selection, quality, and performance of sport equipment. Various tests were conducted in an attempt to evaluate the performance of leather v synthetic basketballs. (JN)

Peer reviewedThelen, Esther – American Psychologist, 1995
Discusses the renaissance of motor skill acquisition studies that are affording new insights into the processes by which infants and children learn to control their bodies. The article explains how studies are now focusing less on how children perform and more on how the components cooperate to produce stability or engender change, thus making…

Peer reviewedZebas, Carole J., Ed.; Groppel, Jack L., Ed. – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 1983
In six articles on racquet sports, the origins of the games are traced, methods for teaching skills such as footwork, racquetball strategy, and badminton techniques are discussed, and the biomechanics of the one- and two-handed backhand in tennis are reviewed. Information about paddle tennis is included. (PP)

In these sessions an attempt was made to analyze the profession of physical education for identification of the elements and reasons for diversification and to synthesize through establishing relationships among various subdisciplines. Attention was focused on the relationships that exist among emerging subdisciplines in physical education and on…
