Routledge Genetics and the Psychology of Motor Performance

Explore the connection between biological inheritance and physical skill in Genetics and the Psychology of Motor Performance. Published by Routledge as part of the Research in Sport and Exercise Science series, this book addresses a significant gap in existing literature regarding the genetics of motor behavior. This text integrates modern genetic research with the psychological study of motor learning and control. It examines how much of our motor proficiency is learned versus inherited. The research focuses on key psychological factors that influence performance, such as personality, emotion, and motivation. By studying these elements, readers can better understand the biological foundations of self-regulation and perceptual-cognitive skills. This book is a necessary resource for those studying the intersection of genetics and human movement.
