Tiivistelmä
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of Quiet Eye (QE) training versus conventional methods in improving sailors' knot-tying performance under induced stress. Participants performed corresponding training regimens developed from earlier studies after being divided into QE and conventional groups. Heart rate variability (a physiological response), error incidence (a measure of precision), and time taken (a measure of efficiency) were the three main outcomes that were measured. Over the course of three tries, the QE group consistently showed more predictable and effective results in all criteria. The two main drawbacks were the lack of an eye tracker and the potential for inaccurate heart rate monitoring. Subjectively, participants who used the QE technique reported feeling more focused and finding the training to be helpful. The results of the study showed a significant link between the subjective assessments of the participants and their actual performance. Overall, QE training shows its promise for work requiring accuracy and efficiency under challenging circumstances.
