Resumen
LUIS DEL CAMPO, V. y ESPINO PALMA, C.. The influence of the viewing perspective on the novel tennis players' motor behavior. CPD [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.3, pp.65-72. ISSN 1989-5879.
The aim of the study was to address the influence of the viewing perspective (egocentric or alocentric one) in the motor behavior of a reduced sample of novel tennis players when they perceived video-projected services in a laboratory setting. Specifically, a group of tennis players (n = 6) perceived the sequence of rallies with an egocentric perspective. In contrast, another group of players (n = 6) perceived the same sequence with an alocentric perspective. Participants were required to initiate the movement, quickly and precisely, when they identify the final direction of the ball. The results showed that the players, who perceived the rallies with an alocentric viewing, achieved significantly lower reaction times and higher response accuracy than an egocentric perspective. It is recommended to include alocentric viewing projections in the design of perceptual trainings in the sport as they enhance the performance of athletes in the task by producing fast movements and accurate responses.
