Return Temporal Anticipation On The Basis Of The Ball Trajectory Estimation

Vol.4,No.2(2010)

Abstract

Ball-hitting in tennis involves spatio-temporal information about the ball’s flight trajectory. The study focuses on the temporal part of the information during a returned tennis serve that was simulated by a ball machine. The test subjects had occlusion glasses placed over their eyes, which occluded their vision at the exact time the ball was ejected from the ball machine. The test subjects did not know which part of the ball flight trajectory would be occluded, nor the ball speed. The study examined the effect of part ball flight trajectory occlusion on the correct return timing of the ball. The analysis revealed that the greatest problems occurred while the second third of the ball flight trajectory had been occluded and reached most temporal errors at that time.
