Sensorimotor ability is the ability to judge small differences in movement tasks through the process of receiving sensory messages (sensory input) and producing a response (motor output). Participant attention lapses in prior psychophysical studies have been implicated as a cause for increased measurement variance thresholds in these types of assessments. Since minimizing the time needed for the AMEDA may help to reduce attention lapses, we compared the reliability of the 50-repetition AMEDA protocol (Group 1) with that of a 25-repetition protocol (Group 2). We assessed the split half reliability of these two approaches, using the Spearman-Brown Adjusted Pearson correlation (r). For each method, we calculated Bland-Altman Plots and Intra Class Correlation Coefficients to compare the reliability of the two data sets and determine the 95% confidence intervals. Split-half test re-test Spearman-Brown Adjusted Pearson r (r<sub>full</sub>) was Group 1 <i>r</i><sub><i>full</i></sub> = 0.83 and Group 2 <i>r</i><sub><i>full</i></sub> = 0.85. The Bland-Altman Plots indicated only a small degree of bias from the zero-difference line, with 95% of the difference points lying within the limits of agreement. For Group 1, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) two-way, agreement was 0.83 (95% CI 0.54-0.93) and for Group 2, the ICC, two-way, agreement, was 0.85 (95% CI 0.66-0.93). The MDC90 for Group 1 was 0.082 AUC units and for Group 2, it was 0.086 AUC units. The combined data for Group 1 plus Group 2 Bland-Altman Plot indicated only a small degree of bias from the zero-difference line, with 95% of the difference points lying within the limits of agreement. The MDC90 for the combined groups was 0.08 AUC units. The multiple methods from previous research assessing test re-test reliability that we applied to our two data sets indicate that the 25-response AMEDA was a reliable system for evaluating sensorimotor function in the lower limbs and may be an alternative for the more traditional 50-response protocol in which lapses in participant attention from fatigue or other biases may be a concern.

In particular, effective visual attention, known as Quiet Eye (QE), is likely to play a crucial role in movement planning and motor control. However, research on QE during the execution of a badminton backhand serve remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to examine the differences in QE based on expertise while analyzing the interaction between QE and upper limb joint movements to understand the underlying mechanisms of the execution of the serve. By doing so, this study seeks to identify the specific visual information involved in badminton backhand serve performance and provide foundational data for performance enhancement. Expert and novice players were instructed to perform backhand short and long serves in both singles and doubles conditions, and QE, wrist joint MEA (Maximum Extension Angular Velocity), and elbow joint MEA were analyzed for each condition. The results showed that skilled players had a longer QE duration than novices, with a particularly longer QE and lower wrist MEA observed in the doubles short serve condition. Additionally, a significant correlation between QE and MEA was found during the execution of the short serve. These findings align with certain aspects of the posture-kinematics hypothesis, particularly in terms of joint-level control.
