Awareness, Perceived Importance and Implementation of SportsVision Training

Background: Sports vision training improves perceptual–motor skills crucial for performance and injury prevention. Despite proven benefits, little is known about its perception and use among coaches in Portugal. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was completed by active coaches from various sports, gathering sociodemographic data, awareness of visual training, perceived importance of ten visual skills, and implementation in training plans. Statistical analyses included descriptive tests to summarize sample characteristics, tests and two-way ANOVA to compare perceived importance of visual skills across sex and sport modalities, Spearman correlations to assess associations with age, and Firth-corrected logistic regression to identify predictors of incorporating visual training into practice plans.
