Figure and Table Captions

Figure 1. Radial Error (mm) in pretest, posttest and retention test as a function of treatment (progressive vs. conservative). Flankers indicate S.E.

Table 1. Recommended QE location, onset before critical movement, offset and duration during QE training in selected motor tasks. The QE norms were derived from research with elite performers in each motor task.

Please note:

  • Figures and tables need to strictly adhere to the guidelines specified in the APA manual. Please notethat manuscripts with figures or tables that seriously violate APA style will be sent back to the authors by the Editor-in-chief before considering them for publication.
  • Contrary to APA style, CISS prefers to table captions not as headings (with upper case letters)such that lower case letters should be used for figure as well as for table captions.
  • In original articles, review articles, and reports (including case studies, short communications, theoretical or practical reflections), a maximum of eight figures or tables must not be exceeded (i.e., for example, five figures and three tables).Additional figures or tables will be charged by an author-fee increase of EUR 50.00 per table or figure
  • No more than one single figure or table is accepted for a commentary on a target article; in those cases, the maximum word count needs to be reduced accordingly.
  • As figures need to be submitted in a resolution that suffices publication requirements, it may be advisable to submit the original files in addition. In those cases, nevertheless, also insert a copy of the figure in the summary figures-and-tables file at hand.

Authors / Sport or motor Activity / Who was trained? / QE location / QE onset before which critical movement? / QE offset / QE duration(retention or transfer tests)
Adolphe, Vickers & LaPlante (1997) / volleyball serve reception / national volleyball team / ball as it is being served and during early flight / ball at location of contact by server’s hand and during early flight / early if ball flight is predictable; late, before contact, if ball flight is unpredictable / 400-500ms, depending on speed of ball
Harle & Vickers (2001) / basketball free throw / varsity basketball team / front of rim / before shot is initiated / before final extension of elbow and the shooting hand / 1.0s
Vickers, (2007);
Vine & Wilson, (2011) / golf putting / high and low skilled golfers / back or top of ball / before backswing / after club/ball contact for 300ms / 2.5s on short putt; 3.0s on long putt
Causer, Moore & Williams (2010) / skeet shooting / elite olympic shooters / 1st clay as soon as it is launched; detect 2nd clay immediately after trigger pull / 250ms before trigger pull / after trigger pull / 400-425ms on each clay
Miles, Wood, Vine, Vickers, & Wilson (2015) / throw a ball at a blank wall and catch it before the bounce / children with development coordination difficulties; aged 9-10 / targeting: “virtual target” on the blank wall;
ball flight: ball as it left the wall / targeting: before the underhand throw;
ball flight: before the ball left the wall / targeting: after ball hits the wall;
ball flight: before the catch / targeting: 500ms;
ball flight: 200ms
