Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare visual search strategies (fixations duration ratio on each segment, frequency of fixations and average of fixations duration) between expert and novice in exercise movement assessment using eye-tracking device. Sixteen experts with 5+ years of experience and seventeen novices with less than 1 year of experience were recruited. In eye-tracking experiment they watched three pre-recorded exercise movement assessments (squats in the frontal and sagittal planes and push-ups in the sagittal plane). There were no significant differences with fixations duration ratio on each segment, frequency of fixations and average of fixations duration. The results show doubts about evaluations by eyes and suggest motion analysis by biomechanics as alternatives.
