The Inaccuracy Of Movement - Harry Levi Hollingworth - Bog

The Inaccuracy of Movement: With Special Reference to Constant Errors is a book written by Harry Levi Hollingworth and originally published in 1909. The book focuses on the study of human movement and the errors that can occur during the execution of various tasks. Hollingworth's research is based on experiments conducted in his laboratory at Columbia University, where he examined the accuracy of movement in tasks such as tapping a key, drawing lines, and lifting weights. The book begins with an introduction to the concept of constant errors, which are defined as the consistent deviations from a desired movement pattern. Hollingworth then explores the factors that contribute to these errors, including fatigue, practice, and environmental conditions. He also examines the role of feedback in improving movement accuracy, as well as the effects of mental and physical fatigue on performance. The latter half of the book focuses on the practical applications of Hollingworth's research, including the development of methods for measuring movement accuracy and the design of training programs to improve performance. The book also includes numerous charts, graphs, and illustrations to help readers better understand the concepts discussed. Overall, The Inaccuracy of Movement is a seminal work in the field of human movement research, and remains relevant to this day for its insights into the factors that influence movement accuracy and the development of training methods to improve performance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
