Movement Analysis Tips
- You will want to watch how the participant establishes a relationship with the target they are aiming for. Are they looking at the target?
- The amount of force produced in the movement is also important to pay attention to and will affect their trajectory and their ability to hit the target.
- Upon release of the ball, notice whether the participant follows through with their swing and whether they are aiming at the target. This will affect the trajectory of the ball, as well as their accuracy.
