Abstract

Background and Aims: The first step in learning is understanding and information. Therefore, understanding things from one perspective essentially depends on complex visual processes. This active and often skillful persuit is called search. The current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of visual training on motor function and visual search behaviors in dart throwing skills in physical education students.
Materials and Methods: A total of 30 female bachelor students recruited using convenient sampling method. The study included three stages: pretest, visual training, and post-test. The study course was 12 sessions and students underwent 40 minutes of Revien & Gabor training. We used kolmogorov-smirnov test to check normality of distribution. We also used one-way ANOVA to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that visual training was significantly associated with number fixation, duration fixation, and especially saccadic movements. Number fixation and duration fixation were improved equally as the result of visual training. Visual training also improved motor function; however, the effect of these trainings was greater for visual search (number fixation, duration fixation, and saccadic movements).
Conclusion: According to the results, it can be concluded that visual training can meet visual needs in terms of dart throwing skills. It is worth noting that visual trainings along with physical exercise can improve the results more efficiently.
