The effect of acute physical fatigue on gaze behavior during tennis players' service return
Acute physical fatigue is an inevitable factor for athletes during tennis competitions. While previous studies have explored the relationship between gaze behavior and tennis performance, the impact of fatigue on gaze behavior during service return has not been thoroughly investigated. This study recruited 24 male tennis players with an average training history of 11 years. We recorded their gaze behavior in real-world settings using a eye-tracking device. All participants completed a service return task prior to the fatigue protocol, followed by the implementation of the fatigue protocol and a subsequent service return task. The results indicate that acute physical fatigue significantly affects the success rate of service return and alters the gaze behavior of athletes during this task, characterized by a reduction in average fixation duration and an increase in the number of fixations. This change was observed in both areas of interest (upper body and ball). Notably, we found differences in gaze behavior between successful and unsuccessful return serves under fatigue conditions. The findings underscore the influence of acute physical fatigue on gaze behavior and further elucidate how these changes may impact return serve performance.
期刊介绍:
Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
