Resumen

Some years ago, Nick Saviano notified qualitative observations. In this study we have made a chronometric analysis of the split -step and the response times of experienced returners to prove qualitative observations in a quantitative way. The research included the relationship between the different phases of the split-step and the reaction of the players. A 250 fps. high speed camera was used. The results partially confirm landing with the opposite foot. The ability to adapt the landing of the feet in a functional way was implemented by three of the five participants. It was also proved that those players who were faster to land, were also faster to react. There was also a relationship between the national qualification of the participants and the ability to react, since the best male player (M1) and the best female player (F1) had shorter response times.
