Intra-Performance Related Differences in Quiet Eye of Elite Pistol Shooters

The purpose of current study was to comparison of quiet eye of elite pistol shooters in successful and unsuccessful trials. In post event study, 20 elite male pistol shooters selected for this study with age range 20-30 years old. After five trials familiarization, participants performed 20 trials to target with available standard. Scores of ten were considered successful, and scores of less than ten were considered unsuccessful. Data were analyzed using dependent t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results indicated that there was significant difference between quiet eye period in successful and unsuccessful trials (sig=0.01), and participants had higher quiet eye in successful trials than unsuccessful trials. Also, there was significant positive correlation between quiet eye and performance. Overall, the results of current study indicated that quiet eye related with inter- individual motor skill variability (elite vs. novice) and intra- performance (successful and unsuccessful trials).
