Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to investigate the characteristics of superior visuomotor control in ball game sports such as baseball. We examined three stages of visual tasks: a controlled laboratory task, performance in an actual sport environment, and a visual task in virtual reality (VR). The results showed that experienced ballgame players showed an adaptation to the short latency corrective motor response called "automatic pilot". In addition, a visual experiment using VR was conducted with baseball players, and it was shown that the ability to discriminate the pitch type in the VR task was improved, but it could not be shown whether this improvement in ability improved actual hitting ability.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

野球の打撃に代表されるような、極めて短い時間で遂行される運動において、正確にかつ素早く視覚情報を処理する能力、また、それらを運動に活かす能力は、競技能力の向上に極めて重要であると考えられる。しかし、球技アスリートの視覚認知能力を評価・訓練するための知見は極めて少なく、またその視覚認知機能を下支えする機序も明らかにされていない点が多い。
VR技術を用いて球技アスリートの視覚認知機能を評価した本研究の結果は、今後球技アスリートの視覚認知機能を評価・訓練するための重要な知見となる可能性があると考える。
