The purpose of this study was to clarify movement of eyes in a receiving scene in badminton. The subjects were five female university students specialized in badminton (expert) and five female university students who do not specialize in badminton (nonexpert). The eye mask which could detect a field of vision and eye movement was used to measure movement of eyes for an over-the-head-stroke hit from another coat.
Results were as follows:
1)Before an impact, expert tended to watch an upper body or a racket of the opponent and a shuttle alternately while nonexpert tended to continue watching a shuttle.
2)At an impact, expert tended to gaze at an upper body or a racket of the opponent while nonexpert tended to gaze at a racket or to continue watching a shuttle.
3)After an impact, expert tended to keep watching a shuttle or gaze at the opponent while nonexpert tended to continue watching a shuttle.
These results suggested that expert observe a characteristic of stroke movement of an opponent and a flight of a shuttle using saccadic eye movement and anticipate a tactical intent of the stroke as early as possible and that expert may use peripheral vision to catch up the speed of a shuttle.
