Abstract
Abstract Two movements basic to sports skills, a modified baseball throw and a football kick, were studied in 105 college men. Individual differences in ability to move an arm or leg quickly were found to be uncorrelated with the reaction time for these movements. There was only a moderately high correlation between the reaction ability of the right and left legs, and between the right and left arms. Arm vs. leg correlations were significant but low. A similar pattern of correlations between limbs was found for movement ability, but all correlations were considerably lower and movement specificity was high. The reliability of individual differences was high in all of the measures.
