Routledge Genetics and Psychology of Motor Performance - Research Guide

Genetics and the Psychology of Motor Performance is the first comprehensive book to integrate cutting-edge genetic research into the study of psychological aspects of motor learning and control. This Routledge Research in Sport and Exercise Science volume explores the extent to which key psychological factors central to motor proficiency-including personality, emotion, self-regulation, motivation, and perceptual-cognitive skills-are acquired or inherited. The book addresses a significant gap in academic literature by combining behavioral research conducted through genetic studies with motor behavior analysis, offering researchers, students, and professionals in sports science, exercise psychology, and medical genetics a foundational resource for understanding how genetic and environmental factors shape motor performance and psychological development.
