The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two types of videotape instructions on the resequencing performance of female tennis players at the novice, low, medium, and elite skill levels. Resequencing performance on the tennis serve and forehand drive was examined. Three different treatment conditions were administered: a control group was required to simply resequence the twelve still photographs of the tennis serve, another group were presented a videotape replay of the tennis serve played at regular speed, then three times in slow motion and then a final showing at regular speed, and a third group viewed a videotape replay augmented by skill cues. A posttest was administered. Similar procedures were carried out for the forehand drive. The results indicated that the resequencing performance was related to expertise in tennis. The slow motion and slow motion replay with augmented information treatments improved the resequencing performance of all the players on the tennis serve but not on the forehand drive.
