Overview
During the past few decades the number of studies on motor and physical development in persons with mental retardation has been steadily increasing. This book reflects this growing interest and details not only the groundwork that has been prepared by international researchers but provides important indicators for future research. Based on the observations of teachers and caregivers, researchers have found new ways of documenting the significant changes in growth and movement development occurring across the life span of persons with mental retardation. This volume closely examines these cases from the perspective of the social and physical environment. It also addresses key issues relating to motor development in children with Down Syndrome and presents an important discussion on aspects of health and fitness. Scientists studying human movement in the areas of sport science and medicine as well as those involved in the study of mental retardation and adapted physical activity will find this volume of tremendous value.Book Details
