- Associate Professor Takaaki Kato
Introduction of the discussion
Recently, there has been an increase in research aimed at elucidating perceptual-cognitive tasks in sports competitions.
However, in the past verification, experimental bias due to the influence of visual stimuli cannot be ignored, and problems of ecological validity are pointed out.
Associate Professor Takaaki Kato measured the eye movements of athletes, conducted field experiments in actual competition scenes as much as possible to build a highly physiologically relevant experimental situation and pointed out that there is a difference in the range of eye movement between the skilled and the general athletes.
Finding the problem
Then, is this measurement method effective in any competition?
Argument
It can be said that eye movement measurement is effective in one-on-one competitions, competitions with a small range of motion, and competitions where movement is not intense.
However, on the contrary, in many-to-many, wide-range sports and fast-moving sports, other verifications should be conducted.
By examining multiple items such as dynamic visual acuity, wide field of view, sense of distance, and ability to react quickly to moving objects, it is thought to be useful for designing a more effective learning environment.
Conclusion
Therefore, I would like to validate with many items the relationship between perception and physical movement in sports competition, and clarify the items that the skilled person has superiority to acquire important skills in the sport, and thus I would like to build an effective training method.
Examining the conclusion
By studying with Associate Professor Takaaki Kato, who is conducting research to verify various experiments using various methods from various psychological and physical aspects, I am sure that I could obtain various perspectives regarding my research and it would open up new horizons for me.
Therefore, I believe that Keio University’s Faculty of Policy Management is the most suitable place for pursuing my research and social contributions, and I am aspiring to enter your school and study in your laboratory.
