Sharpening the Coach’s Eye: An Observational Study Investigating the Trainability of An Eye-Tracking Strategy for Perceiving Barbell Velocity Loss in Resistance Training

This study provides novel evidence that, under laboratory conditions, RT coaches can be trained to use a gaze strategy associated with improved accuracy in detecting barbell VL. Thus, the Coach's Eye may offer a practical, coach-led complement to velocity-tracking devices in VBT, with further studies in real-world settings required to establish its ecological validity.
