Transferability of visual search behaviour across different shot techniques in floorball by Neo, Xi

“…Hence, this study investigated the similarity of VSB and QE characteristics across the drag, wrist and slap shots when used to score a goal in floorball. As the cognitive processing requirements are similar across domain-specific aiming tasks, quantity and duration of fixations, together with QE onset, offset and, duration, are hypothesised to transfer similarly across the three shots. …”

Effects of functional training on tennis-specific physical fitness and functional movement screen in junior tennis players by Xiao, Wensheng, Bai, Xiaorong, Soh, Kim Geok, Zhang, Yang

“…At T12, functional training enhanced (p < 0.01) all seven components of the FMS, and there is a 100% probability that the total score of the FMS would be enhanced. In contrast, for the traditional training group, shoulder mobility of the FMS decreased (p = 0.03), and there was no changes in other FMS components at T12. …”
