Reliability of Different Methods of Scoring Throwing Accuracy

The throwing accuracy performance of 62 high school freshman males was obtained for test and retest sessions. Each throw was scored in five dimensions—concentric circle, horizontal deviation and direcional, and vertical deviation and directional. Reliability estimates of each scoring procedure were derived by the product-moment correlation and analysis of variance techniques. Both procedures yielded different reliability estimates for each accuracy scoring method, with the concentric circle scoring system yielding the highest reliability in both methods of estimation.
