Influence Of Skill Level Research Articles

Influence of skill level on predicting the success of one's own basketball free throws.

Basketball players sometimes claim to know when their shot is good, even before it goes in. This is likely because shooter proprioception can help determine shot outcome, even before their eyes confirm it. This phenomenon, however, has not been systematically explored for collegiate and recreational shooters. This study compared how well collegiate shooters and recreational shooters could predict outcomes of their own free throws without seeing the shot result. Forty collegiate and recreational shooters shot standard free throws while wearing liquid-crystal occlusion glasses that activated to occlude vision immediately following ball release during each shot. After each shot, shooters verbally predicted shot outcome as “in” or “out”, and predicted results were compared with actual outcomes. As anticipated, for made shots, collegiate shooters more accurately predicted their own shots than recreational shooters. However, unexpectedly, for missed shots, collegiate shooters were worse than recreational shooters and were even significantly worse than chance. Further analysis found that collegiate shooters exhibited a significantly higher bias toward predicting their shots as “in”. Understanding how shooters of different skill levels perceive their own shot could inform future training strategies for improving shooter accuracy.

Study on Influence of Skill Level on Tool Wear during Feed Mode Change in Lathe Work

In this report, our attention was paid on the tool wear due to the stop of tool-feed, caused by change from the automatic operation to the manual one in the lathe work, because it was thought that skill level of workers influences the tool wear significantly. First, the workers gaze-point movement was recorded with an eye camera and analyzed with the application software. The results showed that the stop time of the tool-feed for skilled workers was very shorter than that of beginners. Then, the relationship between the tool-feed stop time and the tool wear was investigated by using an NC lathe. It was found that the shorter the stop time is, the smaller the tool wear becomes. Based on the above findings, the influence of the skill level on the tool wear due to the tool-feed stop in lathe work was revealed and key issues in the skill transfer of lathe work were confirmed.

Individual differences and segment interactions in throwing

Arm segment velocities of 12 athletes throwing three differently weighted balls were analyzed by three-mode principal component analysis. Individual differences were characterized in terms of the combined influences of the phases of the throwing motion and the arm segment velocity relationships established in those phases. Using three individual differences components, three velocity measures components and four time phase components, 75% of the variance was described. The arm segment velocity relationships were described by two main components identified as directional velocity and proximal versus distal velocity. The time periods components distinguished between relationships among the arm segment velocities that occur in the windup versus those of the release phase. Three individual differences components are identified and appeared to be related to a general throwing style, the influence of skill level on technique, and the differential effect of the varying ball weights, respectively. Each athlete's throws are weighted combinations of these three components. The timing of segment involvement is investigated and the results indicate sequential patterns from proximal to distal as the throw unfolds. However, the results also suggest that different principles may apply to different throwers and that the summation of speed principle should not be applied universally to explain segment motion and interaction.
