Visuo-motor skills and baseball batting performance: assessment, association, and training protocols

Vision is the most important sense to execute sport skills. Research have shown that good visual performance is related to good batting performance in baseball and, that training protocols representing baseball game settings help with the improvement of batting skills. This study purposes to understand the relation between visual and batting performance and investigate the effect of training protocols in the improvement of baseball batting skills. For that, visual and batting performance evaluations will be associated and separated by skill level. Also, different training protocols will be compared to identify their contribution to the learning of batting skills. The results of this project will improve the selection and training of baseball players aiming high level of performance.
