Latency of prosaccades and antisaccades in professional shooters

Article Abstract:

A study evaluated hypothesis that the faster saccadic reaction time in professional clay-target shooters found in a previous study was due to a superiority of athletes arising at the attention level or at level of saccadic motor preparation. The result indicates that athletes' advantage in saccadic reaction times cannot be attributed to improvement of the attentional mechanism of disengagement and present results support the hypothesis that shooters develop shorter motor preparation to saccades.
