TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Anticipation of coincidence, gender, and sports classification JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Brady, F. SP - 227 EP - 239 VL - 82 IS - 1 N2 - This study investigated the effects of sport classification and gender on anticipation of coincidence. 102 undergraduate male and female students from open skills, closed skills, and nonathletic groups were tested on the Bassin Anticipation Timer. The dependent measures of absolute error, constant error, and variable error were analyzed in a 2 (gender) x 3 (sport classification) x 4 (speeds) design. Men had lower absolute and constant error scores than women. Open skills athletes were less variable in their responses while male open skills athletes were more accurate and less variable at the faster speeds. Performance on the Bassin Anticipation Timer may not be representative of athletic skills.
