Visual search, anticipation and expertise in soccer goalkeepers

Geert J.P. Savelsbergh, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2002 - 
TL;DR: Examination of skill-based differences in anticipation and visual search behaviour during the penalty kick in soccer found expert goalkeepers were generally more accurate in predicting the direction of the penaltyKick, waited longer before initiating a response and made fewer corrective movements with the joystick.

Anticipation and visual search behaviour in expert soccer goalkeepers

Geert J.P. Savelsbergh, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: The successful experts were more accurate in predicting the height and direction of the penalty kick, waited longer before initiating a response and appeared to spend longer periods of time fixating on the non-kicking leg compared with thenon-successful experts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Children with cerebral palsy exhibit greater and more regular postural sway than typically developing children

Stella F. Donker, +5 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: CP children might benefit from therapies involving postural tasks with an external functional context for postural control, and concurrent visual feedback decreases both the amount and regularity of sway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reflections on Mirror Therapy: A Systematic Review of the Effect of Mirror Visual Feedback on the Brain

Frederik Deconinck, +5 more
- 01 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: MVF can exert a strong influence on the motor network, mainly through increased cognitive penetration in action control, though the variance in methodology and the lack of studies that shed light on the functional connectivity between areas still limit insight into the actual underlying mechanisms.
Journal Article

Ventral and dorsal system contributions to visual anticipation in fast ball sports.

J. van der Kamp, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a new framework for visual anticipation is proposed that emphasizes the interacting contributions of the ventral system in perceiving what action the situation affords and the dorsal system in the visual guidance of that action.
