Perseptueel Motoriese Leer: Teorie en Praktyk ondersoek die belangrikheid van beweging in vroeë kinderontwikkeling en hoe dit breingroei, motoriese beheer en algemene ontwikkeling beïnvloed. Die mens is ’n fisiek-psigies-geestelike wese, en fisieke aktiwiteit speel ’n deurslaggewende rol in gesondheid en leervermoë. Tog toon navorsing ’n wêreldwye afname in kinders se fisieke aktiwiteit, wat tot kommerwekkende gevolge soos vetsug en swak motoriese ontwikkeling lei.

Wetenskaplike studies beklemtoon ‘geleentheidsvensters’—kritieke tydperke waarin bewegingservaring die mees effektiewe impak op neurale ontwikkeling het. Hierdie vensters, veral tot ouderdom vyf vir basiese motoriese vaardighede, is noodsaaklik vir die ontwikkeling van lees-, skryf- en taalvaardighede, sowel as selfvertroue en akademiese sukses.

Hierdie boek rus opvoeders, bewegingspesialiste en gesondheidspraktisyns toe met die nodige kennis om motoriese vaardighede by kinders van alle vermoëns te ontwikkel en te optimaliseer.

Perceptual Motor Learning: Theory and Practice explores the vital role of movement in early childhood development. Humans are physical, spiritual, and psychological beings, and motor control, coordination, and brain growth are crucial in shaping a child’s overall development. However, modern sedentary lifestyles and reduced physical education in schools have led to a decline in children’s physical activity, contributing to rising obesity and health concerns.

Scientific research highlights ‘windows of opportunity’—critical periods when motor development is most effective. Movement activities are essential for developing key skills such as balance, coordination, and perception, which influence academic readiness, language abilities, and self-confidence.

This book provides essential knowledge on perceptual-motor learning, equipping educators, physical development professionals, and movement specialists with the tools to optimise motor skills in children of all abilities.
