摘要: Laboratory measures of visual reaction time suggest that some aspects high-speed ball games such as cricket are 'impossible' because there is insufficient for the player to respond unpredictable movements ball. Given success with which people perform these supposedly impossible acts, it has been assumed by commentators laboratory not applicable skilled performers. An analysis film international cricketers batting on a specially prepared pitch produced movement reported, and shown that, when batting, highly professional show times around 200 ms, similar those found in traditional studies.
