Abstract: Thirty-six women students who were enrolled in intermediate tennis classes or were members of the women's tennis club at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro were used as subjects in this study to determine the degree of relationship between visual depth perception and general tennis ability as measured by the Dyer Wallboard Test. Two tests of visual depth perception were used: one test of real depth perception (rod-type test), the Howard-Dolman Apparatus; one test of apparent depth perception (stereograms), the Keystone Ophthalmic Telebinocular. Pearson-Product Moment correlation coefficients using raw scores were computed for the total group of subjects to determine the relationship between the two measures of visual depth perception. The relationships between visual depth perception scores and scores from the tennis test were also computed.
