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.
