Expertise differences in a 2D animation simulation decision-making task: The influence of presentation speed on performance.

This article investigates the effect of using different playing speeds of 2D animation on the decision accuracy and reaction times of elite footballers. Groups of players from different age categories (under 16, under 18 and under 23 year olds) elite academy footballers watched 2D animations at five different ratios of real-life speed (0.5, 0.

Assessing decision making using 2D animations in elite academy footballers.

Having investigated the effects of videos in the preceding chapter, this chapter assesses 2D animation, a form of presentation used in many coaching situations. The aim of this experiment was to investigate decision-making skills in different age groups (Under 16, 18 and 23) of elite academy footballers using a 2D animation simulation task of real game football scenarios. The work also explored the relationship between individual performance on the task and the actual performance on the pitch, as rated by three independent expert football coaches.

Assessing decision-making in elite academy footballers using real-world video clips.

The aim of this experiment was to investigate whether there were differences in decision-making skills between different age groups (Under 16, 18 and 23) of elite academy footballers on a video-based task of real-life football scenarios. It also explored the relationship between individual performance on the task and the performance of the footballers on the pitch, as rated by three independent expert football coaches. This allowed us to examine whether this task is useful in predicting real-world decision-making skills.

Effectiveness of above real-time training on decision-making in elite football: A dose-response investigation.

We examined the effects of video-based training in elite footballers' decision-making by presenting videos with training and testing scenarios at above real-time speeds. We also examined different training protocols to establish how much training is beneficial. We found that above real-time training improved accuracy and response time in football decision-making.
