As we have mentioned in the former chapters, diverse sports each need different visual skills and so the field of sports vision has expanded to research each activity and its characteristics individually. Not only is the philosophy of each sport different, the methods to deal with visual problems inherit to it are also dissimilar. Fast-moving, physical sports require skills that very greatly from those needed to play golf, for example. Golf is slow-moving and involves each participant taking turns, so there is very little visual confusion in that sense. It does, however, require fantastic depth-perception to be a good golf-player, besides the hand-eye coordination and sense of timing that is involved with actually moving the ball. |
