Implication

Prospective decision-making influences visual tracking performance in soccer players during ball reception, suggesting a need for improved training protocols.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate how soccer players track teammates and opponents when receiving a ball in a virtual environment.
  • Twenty-four soccer players participated, divided into high-skilled and less-skilled groups.
  • Players engaged in visual tracking tasks with different conditions: monitoring, ball reception, or both.
  • Performance was measured using global displacement and visual tracking metrics in a CAVE setup.
  • Visual tracking performance decreased when the virtual ball was present, and global displacement increased.
  • No significant differences were found between high-skilled and less-skilled players under any experimental condition.
  • Interaction with the virtual ball increased movement engagement without differentiating skill levels.
