“…However, the eye-tracker employed in this study was unable to account for potential information pick-up from peripheral vision, and so future research should use more suitable technology to better elucidate the role of central and peripheral vision in sports officiating (e.g., gaze-contingent displays). Indeed, research among sport performers has shown that more highly skilled performers tend to make better use of both central and peripheral vision when making decisions (e.g., Ryu, Abernethy, Mann, Poolton, & Gorman, 2013).…”

“…In a series of recent experiments, we have shown that skilled athletes are better able to make use of their peripheral vision when performing a domain-specific task (Ryu, Abernethy, Mann, & Poolton, 2015;Ryu, Abernethy, Mann, Poolton, & Gorman, 2013). In those studies, the decision-making ability of skilled and lessskilled basketball players was tested when viewing video footage of basketball game scenarios.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine whether decision-making skill in perceptual-cognitive tasks could be enhanced using a training technique that impaired selective areas of the visual field. Recreational basketball players performed perceptual training over 3 days while viewing with a gaze-contingent manipulation that displayed either (a) a moving window (clear central and blurred peripheral vision), (b) a moving mask (blurred central and clear peripheral vision), or (c) full (unrestricted) vision. During the training, participants watched video clips of basketball play and at the conclusion of each clip made a decision about to which teammate the player in possession of the ball should pass. A further control group watched unrelated videos with full vision. The effects of training were assessed using separate tests of decision-making skill conducted in a pretest, posttest, and 2-week retention test. The accuracy of decision making was greater in the posttest than in the pretest for all three intervention groups when compared with the control group. Remarkably, training with blurred peripheral vision resulted in a further improvement in performance from posttest to retention test that was not apparent for the other groups. The type of training had no measurable impact on the visual search strategies of the participants, and so the training improvements appear to be grounded in changes in information pickup. The findings show that learning with impaired peripheral vision offers a promising form of training to support improvements in perceptual skill.

“…Furthermore, these results might indicate that other cognitive process must be involved in the performance of players regarding their visual behaviour, such as peripheral vision and the attention process 7,29 . Alternatively, it also has implications for the assessment or training of soccer players' decision-making or tactical knowledge based on video tests.…”

-Aims:The aim of this study was to assess the visual search strategy of soccer players from different age groups. Methods: The sample comprised 51 youth soccer players. The instrument used to collect and analyse data was the Mobile Eye. This system is used to verify gaze behaviour through visual focus. Players were grouped according to their age group: U-13 (17), U-15 (17), U-17 (17). Participants were presented with a video based test. Visual search stimuli were grouped into five categories: "player in possession of the ball"; "ball"; "teammates"; "opponent"; "space". The number and time of fixations made by players, in each stimuli category was analysed. One-way ANOVA was performed to compare the three groups. Results: Results displayed significant differences in one of the categories. The "space" category displayed significant differences in the number of fixations between U-13 (74.35±12.41) compared to U-15 (58.78±14.22) and U-17 (61.88±16.44) soccer players. No other significant differences were found in other categories. Conclusion: The U-13 players employed most of their visual search related with "space" compared with players from the U-15 and U-17 age groups. These findings are important for coaches and researchers to understand how visual search strategy change according to age group.
