A study about vision in sports like soccer and futsal - Abstract

The visual system is complex, but a lot of scientists have been studying about vision in sports due to its importance to take actions. Most studies about vision in sports take soccer into account. This is more likely to happen because literature shows playing soccer with emphasis on peripheral vision. The objective of the study was to show previous studies about vision in soccer and futsal. Four studies about vision in soccer were selected. The first study was about vision of the full-back, the second one was about visual perception, the third was about penalty and the last one was about knowledge of results. The only study about futsal was on neuromotor learning because indoor soccer players had peripheral vision training. In conclusion, researches about vision in soccer and futsal are important because soccer players and the indoor soccer players need emphasis on peripheral vision.
