Abstract

Ball-hitting in tennis involves spatio-temporal information about the ball’s fl ight trajectory. We have focused on the temporal part of the information during returning a tennis serve that was simulated by a ball machine. Th e tested people had occlusion glasses placed on their eyes, which occluded their vision at the exact time, when the ball was being sent from the ball machine. Th e tested person did not know which part of the ball fl ight trajectory would be occluded, nor the ball speed. We examined the eff ect of part ball fl ight trajectory occlusion on the correct return timing of the ball. Th e analysis revealed that the greatest problems occurred while the second third of the ball fl ight trajectory had been occluded and reached most temporal errors at that time.
