The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different task presentation timing on students` skill learning of the tennis service. The subjects used for this study were 80 college students who enrolled in beginning tennis and leisure sport class at a university. The task presentation timings were three different conditions. Students performed tennis service 20 times after received information from the videotaped and extend previous modeling research that suggests that the impact of modeling on motor performance and learning is influenced by the timing of the task presentation. The results of the study indicated that this investigation both supported and extend previous modeling research that suggests that the impact of modeling on motor performance and learning is influenced by the timing of the task presentation. The study concluded that providing two times of task presentation during practice was a valid method when students were unsure about the nature of skill and performance.
