| Popis | The aim of the study The use of eye tracking in evaluating the success of golfers in putting was to examine the quiet eye method and its components using the mobile eye tracking device. Quiet eye training was proven to be beneficial for different sports, including golf. The main idea of this method is prolonging your fixations on a specific place in order to improve your performance. Shot examined in this study is called putt. Its importance is based on its role on a golf course because many times it is the last putt that decides whether you win or loose. Quiet eye training helps players be more focused under pressure, control their attention and overall improve their putting success. Six highly skilled golfers with handicap range from - 4 to + 4, aged 23 to 26 participated in a pilot study with the usage of an eye tracking device. The study took place in an indoor training area at golf club Hostivař. Crosstabs showed significant differences between individuals laterality and their gaze into AOI - areas of interest (middle part of the ball, top of the ball, bottom of the ball, back side of the ball). Statistically significant differences were also discovered between the mean fixation duration of participants with AOI on the middle part of the ball and all other AOIs. Results of this study helped us understand the examined phenomena and showed us the next aim in future quiet eye research. Future research should focus on examining quiet eye on the golf course. Applying quiet eye and therefore changing the way we concentrate might be beneficial for coaches and players themselves. |
