“…For uniformity, Sanders and Sinclair confined their search to AE outcomes in CAT studies which used the Bassin Anticipation Timer. Just seven studies yielded data suitable for the calculation of effect sizes as Cohen's d (Wrisberg, et al, 1979;Wrisberg, Hardy, & Beitel, 1982;Brady, 1996;Millslagle, 2004;Overdorf, Schweighardt, Page, & McGrath, 2004;Rodrigues, Vasconcelos, Barreiros, Barbosa, & Trifilio, 2009). Of those seven reports, only Millslagle failed to find a significant male advantage for AE and, unsurprisingly, the effect size was small (d = .24).…”

Coincidence-anticipation timing (CAT) is the ability to judge when a moving stimulus will arrive at a target. 43 articles were reviewed which investigated sex differences in this skill. Performance was typically recorded as one or more of three error measures, absolute error (AE), constant error (CE), and variable error (VE). Despite many null findings, it is argued that the evidence for a male advantage is strong, particularly for AE and VE. 10 parameters typically associated with CAT studies were analyzed (e.g., knowledge of results, number of trials, stimulus duration, and stimulus speed), but none differentiated clearly between the presence and absence of the sex difference. However, when the mean AE score was used as a measure of task difficulty, a male advantage was reliably associated with lower values of AE (easier tasks) and null findings with higher values (more difficult tasks). An attempt to compare sex difference findings from Bassin timer and real-world tasks was thwarted by the lack of studies using real-world tasks. Given little evidence for the influence of socialization on sex differences in CAT, it is suggested that the difference may have originated from the evolutionary selection of women for gathering and men for hunting.

“…A considerable amount of literature has been published on age (Benguigui & Ripoll, 1998;Vanttinen, Blomqvist, Luhtanen, & Hakkinen, 2010), gender (Millslagle, 2004;Sanders & Sinclair, 2011), skill levels (Lyons, Al-Nakeeb, & Nevill, 2008;Tenenbaum, Sar-El, & Bar-Eli, 2000), and sports type (Ak & Koçak, 2010;Akpinar, Devrilmez, & Kirazci, 2012), however literatures is still lacking in relation of VAT to the sporting environment. Researchers found higher accuracy and consistency in anticipation ability depending on the sports involved.…”

The ability to anticipation accurately and consistently plays a vital role to excel in sports performance. The present study was designed to determine the differences of visual anticipation time between dynamic and static sports. A total of 95 junior athletes, aged 13 to 16 years old (=14.84±1.04 years) from Bukit Jalil Sports School participated in the study. Participants were distributed to dynamic (n=47) and static (n=48) sports according to their sports participation. Visual anticipation time was tested using Bassin Anticipation Timer in response to stimuli at the speed of 5, 10, and 15 mph, measuring absolute and variable error. Absolute error measured the accuracy of responses while variable error focused on the consistency of responses. The results of this investigation showed that in general dynamic sport are not superior over anticipation ability in relations to accuracy and consistency as compared to static sports across all speeds (p < 0.05). The evidence from this study suggested more emphasis on training related to eye and hand coordination would be imperative for dynamic sports athletes to enhance in on-field sports performance. This study could serve as a base for future studies focusing on visual and hand coordination related to speed as anticipation has been proven to be the key leading to superior performance and for talent identification purposes. Future research concentrating on elite athletes as well as focused sports group would provide further insights on anticipation ability of athletes.
