Coincidence anticipation time of experienced tennis players: effect of stimulus speed and the use of the racket

2016-11-04
Main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various stimulus speeds on Coincidence Anticipation Timing (CAT) performance of experienced tennis players. Secondary purpose was to investigate whether using a button (a classical condition) or a tennis racket (a sport specific condition) for measurement makes a difference in testing performance of the athletes. Participants were 41 tennis players (21 girls & 20 boys) whose age was between 11 to 17 years (M=14.2, SD=3.81). The participants were considered to be experienced tennis players because they were practicing the sport at least for three years (M=4.61, SD=2.28). CAT performances were measured with modified Bassin Anticipation Timer (BAT) device. Stimulus speeds were set as 1, 3 and 5 m/s. Participants were informed about test protocol. To familiarize BAT device and test protocol, participants performed 3 trials with button and 3 trials with racket. Participants performed 30 button and 30 racket trials (10 trials for each stimulus speed). For each condition, the order of the trials was randomized and the button/racket conditions were counterbalanced. Absolute error (AE) and variable error (VE) scores of the participants were calculated. Repeated measure ANOVA results for AE showed significant interaction between stimulus speeds and conditions (F(2,79)=27.84, p<.05). As the stimulus speed increased, performance of the tennis players were getting slightly worse for button test condition but they were getting better for the racket conditions. Results for VE yielded significant results only for the button/racket test condition where the variability of the tennis players were decreasing as the speed of the stimulus were increasing (F(1,80)=10.05, p<.05). It was concluded that accuracy performance of the experienced players were affected by the speed of stimulus speed and that testing with button and sport specific racket condition makes difference in their performances

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of stimulus speed, exercise intensity, and experience level (experienced, novice, & sedentary) on coincidence- anticipation timing performance of adolescent badminton players. 139 participants consist of experienced (n=42), novice (n=43) badminton players, and sedentary (n=54) with the age range of 11 to 17 years old voluntarily participated in the presented study after ethical approval. Coincidence anticipation timing scores was evaluated by Bassin Antic...
Coincidence timing accuracy of junior tennis players
Söğüt, Mustafa; Koçak, Mehmet Settar (2009-09-01)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of age and gender on coincidence timing accuracy (CTA) of junior tennis players (ages of 8-9- 10). The Bassin Anticipation Timer Device was administered to measure CTA of participants (n=228). A 3x2 ANOVA was conducted to analyze age groups and gender differences on CTA. Results revealed that 10 year-old players had significantly lower CTA scores than eight year-old players and male players performed more precisely on CTA than their female counterparts...
COINCIDENCE-ANTICIPATION TIMING REQUIREMENTS ARE DIFFERENT IN RACKET SPORTS
AKPINAR, SELÇUK; Devrilmez, Erhan; Kirazcı, Sadettin (2012-10-01)
The aim of this study was to compare the coincidence-anticipation timing accuracy of athletes of different racket sports with various stimulus velocity requirements. Ninety players (15 girls, 15 boys for each sport) from tennis (M age = 12.4 yr., SD = 1.4), badminton (M age = 12.5 yr., SD = 1.4), and table tennis (M age = 12.4 yr., SD = 1.2) participated in this study. Three different stimulus velocities, low, moderate, and high, were used to simulate the velocity requirements of these racket sports. Tennis...

COINCIDENCE-ANTICIPATION TIMING AND REACTION TIME IN YOUTH TENNIS AND TABLE TENNIS PLAYERS
Ak, Emre; Koçak, Mehmet Settar (SAGE Publications, 2010-06-01)
The purpose of this study was to compare the coincidence-anticipation timing and reaction times (RT) of 10- to 14-year-old tennis and table tennis players and examine possible sex differences. 107 (51.4%) tennis and 101 (48.6%) table tennis players participated in this study. Players were compared on coincidence-anticipation timing and reaction time. Tennis players performed with less error in the coincidence-anticipation timing task than table tennis players, whereas table tennis players had lower mean rea...
