The ability to appropriately distinguish throws for different target positions.

ABSTRACT: Repeated and accurate throwing of an object to a target position is a special human motor skill. It is particularly important to understand accuracy, which has received less attention than speed due to difficulties in measurement. Accuracy has been studied in terms of reducing errors against a single target, but also in terms of distinguishing appropriate throws for targets in different positions. In this study, this ability was investigated by evaluating the two-dimensional distributions of the pitch locations of 15 pitches to three target positions in university students with and without baseball experience. The center, major and minor axis length, major and minor axis ratio, slope, area, and percentage of overlapping area of the 95% confidence ellipse were compared between target positi
