Abstract
In competitive sports as cricket, soccer, basketball and tennis, players must catch a fast moving ball, turn it around or even stop it along the way. To do this successfully, player must ultimately predict the speed, accuracy, location and timing of the ball. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of time constraints on the quiet eye and performance in skilled and novice basketball players.
This research were 24 skilled (n=12) and novice (n=12) basketball players with an age range of 19 to 26 years. For this research, task was executed under 0%, 25% and 50% temporal constraint condition. The task included 10 one hand set shot in each of the temporal constraints. The participant’s quiet eye collected by using eye tracking glasses, also the number of successful and unsuccessful shots was recorded on the record sheet.
Finally, for the research analysis, 2*3 ANOVA was used. The results showed that there was a significant different in quiet eye and performance between skilled and novice participants with and without temporal constraints, also quiet eye and performance were decreased by increase in temporal constraints. Based on the results of this study, quiet eye can be one of the distinguishing factors of different skill levels, which focus on it can help to improve the expertise performance in sport.
