The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of the defenders' eye movements, meaning so-called “Metsuke” in Kendo, during the action of the attackers on video tape. The subjects were students belonging to Kendo club, who have experienced Kendo for several years. To investigate the changes of eye movements, we observed the eye fixation time and the number of. fixations: we then computed the fixate location.
The results are shown as follows:
1. Difference of the fixation time was 0.774 sec. for 3 sec. between the upper part defined as head to hands of the attackers and the lower part defined as Tare to feet. The difference of the number of fixation 1.32 times for every 3 sec.
2. The average fixate locations
The eye fixation on the neck to the shoulders held the longest fixation time and the most number of fixations. The fixation at the feet held the shortest fixation time and the fewest number of fixations.
3. The fixation time and number of fixations (individuals) obviously showed the differences between the upper part and lower part.
4. The average fixate locations (Individuals)
The eye fixation from the neck to the shoulders held the longest fixation time and the most number of fixations. The fixation at the feet held the shortest fixation time and the fewest number of fixations.
