Studies about the vision of the volleyball player during the skills

The volleyball is a sport with the rally of few seconds and the pause has a duration of twice or more than the rally. The volleyball player during the rally practice skills (serve, reception, set, attack, block, and defense) and the vision with quality is important during the actions of these skills. What the vision action during the practice of the volleyball skills? The objective of the review was to present the results on vision during the practice of the volleyball skills. Lenoir et al.,1 determined the reception performance in relation to the type of color ball. The best reception was with the red-blue-white ball. Then Lenoir et al.,1 informed that color ball is important for the volleyball player because the color ball has an effect in the perception of the player for detecting the ball speed. McPherson and Vickers1 determined the vision action of the volleyball player during the reception of the overhand float serve. The volleyball players practiced highest percent of gaze were directed to the ball (62%). The gaze behavior is important for the volleyball player because causes a serve anticipation of the player. Afonso et al.,2 determined eye-movement during the defense in the backcourt. Highly-skilled participants practiced more number of fixations (p≤0.03) and of number of fixations locations (p≤0.04) than the skilled participants during the defense in the backcourt. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for more success of the defense of the highly-skilled participants. Maldonado et al.,3 determined vision behavior of the block player during the actions of the setter. The block player practiced more fixations for the moment that the setter runs to the ball and starts the set with a value of 0.99±0.13. The visual behavior of the block player is important for the coach knows the places that the athlete sees more for a guide during the block training. In conclusion, more vision studies during the volleyball match are needed to evolution this type of research.
