Nonlinear Movement Anticipation Test with Specific Skills in Badminton Sport: Studying Based on Ecological Psychology Approach

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate nonlinear movement anticipation test with two specific skills in badminton sport based on ecological psychology approach. Methods20 young men, 10 members of Tehran Youth Badminton Team and 10 physical education students, who had just passed the badminton-1 course, participated in two coincidence anticipation timing (CAT) tests. The tests included performing one coincidence anticipation-timing task with the same conditions in service and drop skills. For data analysis, independent t-test and dependent t-test were used with adjusted significance level (P≤0.025). Results: Statistical analysis results indicated that there was a significant difference just in the service test (P=0.008) between the novice and professional groups. Conclusion: Also, the result showed that the precision of CAT of the novice has significant difference (P=0.02) between two drop and service tests.
