Abstract EN
Eye-hand coordination during dart throwing includes both the sensory and motor components, as well as cognitive variables, for example, the direction of the subject’s attention to the target or to the hand kinematic.
In the present study, subjects performed dart throws in the eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions with simultaneous recording of the kinematics of the throwing hand.
The results showed that the position of the hand in its raising phase was closer to the torso when performing more accurate throws with the eyes-open condition compared to more peripheral throws and throws performed in the eyes-closed condition.
Following the dart release, the position of the hand in the eyes-open condition was lower compared to the eyes-closed condition.
Additionally, in the eyes-closed condition, raising the hand in its backward moving phase negatively predicts the throwing accuracy.
Thus, the early phase of the movement is associated with attention, and the final phase is associated with the visual feedback about the throwing accuracy.
Raising the hand in the eyes-closed condition reflects an increase in muscle tension, which leads to a decrease in the accuracy of movement.
The results of the study can be applied in sports and in the treatment of hand-eye-coordination disorders.
