INFLUENCE OF VISUAL BEHAVIOUR ON DECISION MAKING IN VOLLEYBALL BLOCKING

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of visual behaviour (visual fixation location, number and duration) on decision making in volleyball blocking. The visual behaviour of 38 female volleyball players (23.9 +/- 4.2 years) who took part in official competition was analysed using an eye tracking system (Mobile Eye) during the visualisation of real-size video sequences. Regression models showed that higher success rates were obtained with shorter fixation duration on the SE and HD areas, as well as with a higher number of fixations on the BW area and a lower number on the HD area.
