Gaze and Visual Perception in Sport is the first book that explores
various aspects of gaze and visual perception in sport. 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.
