This research aims to examine the quiet eye, which is a perceptual ability linked with expertise and best
performance. However, there is not enough information about improving quiet eye performance. The current
study aimed to investigate the quiet eye parameters of participants for both hits and misses shot. Material &
Methods: Ten high-level (n=10, ages; 26.60 ± 3.89years; training experience=8.30 ± 2.03years) dart players (in
the first top ten ranks in Turkey League) attended the study. A total of twenty-seven dart throws (9 throws x 3
sets) by each one were performed according to competition rules. During twenty-seven throws performed
according to the competition rules, the participants' quiet eye behaviors were classified and compared as hits and
misses. The Mann-Whitney U test determined the difference between throws. Results: quiet eye duration of hits
(Mean±Standard deviation: 776.60±218.10ms) were found to be statistically longer than misses (Mean±Standard
deviation: 457.33±109.91ms) (p=0.023). Conclusion: In line with the literature's information, it has been shown
that hits provide a significantly longer quiet eye duration and higher throwing hits in targeting the dartboard
compared to misses. Task-specific norms and standards can be applied for quiet eye training to players by
determining high-level players' visual follow-up strategies during hits and misses. According to the determined
QE standards, gaze strategies can be provided to the athletes by giving feedback on the paths they need to follow
for accurate shots and their gaze behavior.
