Abstract

The ability to see and then create an appropriate motor response is central to optimal sports performance. Elite athletes face intense visuo-motor demands requiring millisecond-level decision making to convert vision into action. Some crucial skills in competition are directly linked to the visual process. It is helpful to classify the areas of assessment in order to better understand how the factors affect performance. It is analyzed a routine check in sports vision consultation, which involves the evaluation plan routine of primary and secondary skills with direct influence on sports performance. These abilities are assessment with an approach to direct correlation with the sporting skill that interferes; the way it should be evaluated and the instruments available on the market.
Sport vision training aproaches provide another opportunity for the athlete to enhance vision and visual performance factors that are importante for their sport. In most sports, vision is critical element for sucessful performance and an eyecare professional should be proficient in assessing and training athletes' high-performance vision skills.
