the fifty trials were grouped into ten stages of practice.
The score for each stage of practice consisted of the sum
of the scores for each of five trials.
The data were analyzed for th© total sample population
and for four skill level groups. The four groups, quarters
of the total sample population, were determined on the basis
of the total score for the last five trials of the gross
motor task.
A linear stepwise multiple regression was used to deter-
mine the relationship between the six abilities measured and
performance on the wall volley task at the succeeding stages
of practice to determine if there was a systematic change in
the abilities that contributed to motor performance as task
performance improved. The significance of a predictor as
it was added to the regression equation was tested with an
P ratio and was accepted at the .05 level of significance,
A Fisher's t. test was applied to determine the significance
of the difference between the mean scores of the four skill
level groups on the six ability measures and on the wall
volley scores at the ten stages of practice. Differences
were accepted at the .05 level of significance.
Based upon the findings of the study the following
conclusions were drawn.
1. For college students the abilities that contribute
to early stage performance are the seme as those abilities
that contribute to late stage performance on a wall volley
