Given these considerations, the development of football-specific models explaining the interactive influence of scanning and other variables on performance indicators such as a player’s body orientation, and passing behavior, seems warranted. Hence, this paper aims

Differential Effects of the Rod-and-Frame Illusion on the Timing of Forearm Rotations

Janneke Lommertzen, Alexander M.J. van Zuijlen, Ruud G.J. Meulenbroek, and Rob van Lier

The current study focused on the time course of the effects of the rod-and-frame illusion (RFI) on the kinematics of targeted forearm rotations. Participants were asked to reproduce perceived rod orientations by propelling a hand-held cylinder forward while rotating it to the target orientation. Rod and frame orientations were systematically varied, and cylinder rotations were normalized to time. Average realized cylinder orientations confirmed that when the frame orientation deviated from the vertical, a reproduction error occurred in the direction opposite to the direction of the frame tilt. In contrast, the perceived orientation of the stimulus rod was exaggerated relative to the vertical (i.e., reproduction errors were in the direction of the rod tilt). Furthermore, linear regression analyses for every normalized time sample showed that the rod and frame effects start simultaneously, but they reach their maximum effect at different points in time. We discuss the implications of our findings for current views on the effects of visual illusions on motor control.

Value Orientation Inventory: Development, Applications, and Contributions

Weimo Zhu and Ang Chen

One of the most important legacies and contributions that Catherine D. Ennis made is her line of research on physical education teachers’ value orientations. This specific research line and associated scholarship stemmed from developing the well-known Value Orientation Inventory (VOI; Chen, Ennis

What Occupational Socialization Factors Influence Preservice Teachers to Possess Fitness Orientations?

Craig Parkes and Michael A. Hemphill

Over the last 35 years, occupational socialization research has suggested that preservice teachers (PTs) entering physical education teacher education (PETE) programs typically possess a teaching, moderate coaching, or hardcore coaching orientation ( Curtner-Smith, Hastie, & Kinchin, 2008 ; Lawson

Influence of an Elementary Methods Course and Early Field Experience on Preservice Teachers’ Value Orientations

Leah K. May, Matthew D. Curtner-Smith, and Stefanie A. Wind

There is now a considerable body of research supporting the theory that physical education teachers’ beliefs regarding objectives, content, evaluation, and curricula are influenced by one or more of six philosophical perspectives known as value orientations ( Curtner-Smith, Baxter, & May, 2018

As youth develop the cognitive ability to distinguish between effort, ability, and luck, their perceptions of success and competence can shift from a solely self-referenced and learning focus (i.e., task goal orientation) to include an other

The Legacy and Influence of Catherine D. Ennis’s Value Orientations Research

Matthew D. Curtner-Smith, Deborah. S. Baxter, and Leah K. May

In the first paper in this special issue of Kinesiology Review ( Zhu & Chen, 2018 ), readers would have learned about the three versions of the Value Orientation Inventory (VOI; Chen, Ennis, & Loftus, 1997 ; Ennis & Chen, 1993 ; Ennis & Hooper, 1988 ) that Catherine Ennis and her colleagues
