Introduction: With the advent of research about the relationship between vision skills and sports performance, vision training was logical as the next step to provide an advantage for athletes. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the effect of sports vision training and quiet eye training on decision-making, gaze behavior, and learning tennis serves in novice tennis players.Methods: In this quasi-experimental research, which was conducted with a mixed design (within- and between- groups), 30 novice male tennis players from Khaneh-e-Isfahan complex, Isfahan City, with an age range between 20 to 30 years, were selected conveniently, and were assigned in two Quiet Eye training and Sports Vision training groups (15 people in each group). In the pre-test phase, the participants performed 12 tennis serves, and the participants' gaze behavior (quiet eye) was also measured during the trials. Also, the participants' tennis serve performances were recorded by a GoPro camera. Then, the experimental groups performed the determined training for eight weeks and three sessions per week and each session lasted for 30 minutes. After the end of 24 training sessions, the post-test phase was conducted. Two weeks after the last session, the retention phase was conducted. The obtained data were analyzed using the Mixed Model Analysis of Variance test.Results: The results showed that the quiet eye training resulted in better performance and learning of the tennis serve, a greater increase in the duration of the quiet eye period, and better decision-making compared to sports vision training (P<0.05).Conclusion: The results of this study emphasize the effectiveness of quiet eye training on motor and perceptual-cognitive skills compared to sports vision training.

AbstractIntroduction and Purpose: the purpose of the current study was to examine the comparison of the effect of sports vision training with and without inline hockey specific context on the speed and whole body reaction time of inline hockey players.Methods: In this semi experimental study, which was performed with a pre-test-post-test design with a one- and four-week follow-up period, 60 novice male hockey players with an age range of 15 to For 20 years, they were accessibility selected and randomly divided into three groups: sports vision training with hockey specific context, sports vision training without hockey specific context and hockey specific context training. In the pre-test phase, the participants performed the desired tests (speed and whole body reaction time). The intervention phase lasted for nine weeks and 2 sessions per week and each session lasted 90 minutes, in which the groups did the relevant exercises. In the post-test phase, which was performed exactly after the last training session, and in the follow-up phase, which was performed after one and four weeks of non-training, the participants performed the desired tests as in the pre-test phase. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The results showed that sports vision exercises with and without hockey specific context and hockey specific context exercises have a significant effect on improving speed and whole body reaction time of inline hockey players. Other results indicated that superiority (greater effect size) of sports vision exercises with hockey specific context compared to other exercises.

Introduction and Purpose: the current study was to examine the effect of quiet eye training on decision making, gaze behavior and tennis service skill learning.Methods: In this semi-experimental study, which was performed with a pre-test-post-test design with a 14-day follow-up period, 30 novices male tennis players of Isfahan House with an age range of 20 to 30 were selected and those located in quiet eye training and control groups. In the pre-test phase, the participants performed 12 tennis services, which also measured the participants' gaze behavior during the operation. Participants' service was also recorded by GoPro camera to measure decision making. In addition, participants' performance was recorded by the researcher. Then, the experimental group performed the desired exercises for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week and 30 minutes per session. During this period, the control group performed their daily activities. At the end of 24 practice sessions, the post-test phase, and two weeks after the last session, the retention phase was performed as the pre-test phase. Data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance.Results: The results showed that quiet eye training have a significant effect on improving decision making, increasing the length of the quiet eye period and increasing the performance of the tennis service (P <0.05).Conclusion: The results of this study support the pre programming hypothesis that the importance of planning and choosing the correct answer.

Introduction and Purpose: the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of sport vision training on accuracy and targeting-interceptive skill quiet eye in children with learning disorder.Methods: In this semi- experimental study with a repeated-measure design, 30 boys aged 7-10 years with learning disorder were divided into sport vision and control groups. In the pre-test phase, participants performed 10 trails to throw and catch task the ball. Acquisition phase have done in eight weeks and three sessions in per weeks. At the end of the last training session, in the post-test phase, in two weeks of detraining in the retention and transfer phases, the participants performed 10 trials to throw and catch task the ball. At each phase, the gaze behavior was recorded by eye tracker system and the throw and catch task performance was recorded by the researcher. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance with repeated measures with 0.05 significant levels.Results: The results indicated that sport vision training has a significant effect on increasing the accuracy of targeting-interceptive skills and on increase quiet eye period of throw phase. But, other result indicated that sport vision training has not effect on quiet eye of catching phase.Conclusion: In general, the results of the current study emphasize the importance of sports vision training on the performance of children with learning disabilities; However, more research is needed on the effect of sports vision training on gaze behavior according to the type of task (targeting or interceptive).

Introduction: Children with learning disorder have more inefficient use of gaze strategies in various tasks.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of quiet eye training on muscle activity and targeting-interceptive skill accuracy in children with learning disorder.Methods: In this semi- experimental study with a repeated-measure design, 30 boys aged 7-10 years with learning disorder were divided into quiet eye and control groups . In the pre-test phase, participants performed 10 trails to throw and catch task the ball. Acquisition phase have done in eight weeks and three sessions in per weeks. In per session after the video-gaze exercises, 10 trials were performed to throw and catch task in accordance with the gaze exercises instructions. At the end of the last training session, in the post-test phase, in two weeks of detraining in the retention and transfer phases, the participants performed 10 trials to throw and catch task the ball. At each phase, the selected muscle electrical activity was recorded by electromyography and the throw and catch task performance was recorded by the researcher. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance with repeated measures with 0.05 significant levels.Results: The results indicated that quiet eye training have a significant effect on increasing the learning of targeting-interceptive skills and on reducing the muscles electrical activity.Conclusion: The results of this study support the pre-programming hypothesis on the importance of planning and choosing the correct answer.
