The way athletes control their gaze and their ability to extract relevant information from the environment is important for their ability to perform sport-related motor tasks. Whether it is closed, self-paced targeting tasks such as the basketball free-throw shot, or a more dynamic task such as overtaking a race car on track, the visual system will play a large role in the athletes' ability to achieve a high level of proficiency. As eye-tracking systems become available at reasonable prices, the effect of gaze control and visual perception on sport-related motor performance becomes more relevant in both research and professional contexts. Focused on evidenced-based theoretical and practical applications of gaze strategies related to expert performance in sport, this cutting-edge edited book brings together the multi-faceted implementation of gaze behavior and visual attention in sport, from both the empirical and applied perspectives.
This state-of-the-art summary of the evidence-based, as well knowledge through to applied practice, will be key reading for all elite athletes as well as elite sport psychology consultants, coaches, and instructors.
