ABSTRACT:
To investigate the speed-accuracy trade-off in an applied sport setting, 16 children ages 6 to 11 were solicited to perform floor hockey shots. Task demands emphasized either the development of accuracy or the development of velocity. Repeated measures ANOVA indicated that practice sessions were effective in facilitating skill improvement. Subjects subsequently completed a post-test requiring a combination of speed and accuracy. A multivariate analysis of variance revealed that emphasis on velocity during practice resulted in greater performance on a task requiring both speed and accuracy. Findings appear to confirm the presence of a speed-accuracy trade-off with respect to skill acquisition, and suggest that accuracy demands may impede the development of efficient motor patterns.
