This article discussed an apparatus to measure the variables of size, speed, distance, direction, and height on body movement patterns. (JS)

Various practical considerations argue against the inclusion of sprinters' starts in research on baseball skills. (MJB)

A comparison is drawn between muscle use and timing in the skills of overarm throwing and of service in tennis. (JD)

Factors contributing to successful performance of ball skills are examined. (MM)

Goal-setting positively affected achievement in the motor skills involved in archery. (JD)

A reexamination of the arousal-performance relationship indicates that anxiety should be viewed as a multidimensional construct consisting of physical, behavioral, and cognitive components. (CJ)

This research provides longitudinal information on the motor development of children in kindergarten through second grade. (MM)

Two methods for approaching the problems of body segment contributions to motor performance are joint immobilization with restraint and resultant muscle torque pattern. Although the second approach is preferred, researchers face major challenges when using it. (CJ)

There are many areas within sport studies that require using mathematical analyses, which would foster a fuller understanding of the structure and strategy of sport and the development of quantitatively viable theories of motor development. (CJ)
