- Abstract
This study examines the effectiveness of a training program based on perceptual orientation of attention for improving decision-making and performance in the blocking action of volleyball. 16 youth players were divided into three groups: video (n=6), which received eight perceptual training sessions by video; mixed (n=5), which received only half of the sessions by video, combined with practical training on the field; and control (n=5), which just completed pretest and posttest tests. Results show how orientation of attention to relevant areas of information improved decision-making of the youth volleyball players because they reduced their reaction time (F(1,13)=9,237, p=0,009, ηp2=0,415) maintaining the same percentage of success. However, the practice on the field is necessary to achieve transfer those learning to the real game, because only mixed group improves the percentage of success in the field performance test (F(2,13)=8,608, p=0,004, ηp 2=0,570; t(4)=-6,216, p=0,003).
