The purpose of this study was to develop a novel protocol to be used in assessing
performance outcomes in projectile sports. This study also wanted to establish if
variability within a movement pattern (throwing) is detrimental to the outcome of that skill
and to assess the validity of current methods used to measure performance. Single
subject analysis was undertaken as 4 Wilson Trainer tennis balls were launched using
a Tennis Cube launcher at a wall 25 times each. Infra-red light gate technique (wall
mounted Optojump) in which ball tracking co-ordinates were obtained were compared
to traditional movement measure device (3D Motion Analysis Corporation) coordinates.
Agreement between the 3D landing point X and Y coordinates and the Optojump
landing points X and Y coordinates were analysed using the Bland- Altman method.
