The influence of basketball players’ tracking speed ability on sports decision performance
"This study is important because it uniquely links physical demands (running speed) with cognitive performance (visual tracking and decision-making) in basketball, offering new insights into how expertise shapes performance under pressure. Its findings have both theoretical value for understanding expertise in dynamic sports and practical implications for designing training that enhances decision-making in fast-paced game situations."

Study on the correlation between multiple object tracking ability and eye- tracking characteristics in sports decision making among basketball players
"The present study investigated the relationship between multiple object tracking (MOT) ability and visual search behavior during sports decision-making tasks, comparing expert basketball players and novices. Using eye-tracking technology, the authors analyzed how MOT accuracy related to fixation patterns under varying levels of task difficulty. Their results improve the understanding of visual-cognitive processing in sports contexts and highlight the role of attentional control in expert decision-making."
