Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the factor analysis and internal consistency of
a Persian version of the Athletes’ Retirement Decision Inventory (P-ARDI).
Fernandez et al. (2006) developed this instrument based on the push, pull, antipush,
and anti-pull point of view. We required 243 Iranian elite competitive athletes
(mean age = 25.19 years; 81% male) to complete the questionnaire. The factor
structure of the P-ARDI was evaluated by explanatory and confirmatory factor
analysis. The internal consistency was determined by Cronbach’s alpha. According
to the results, four-factor solution principal component analysis accounted for
65.02% of the variance of the final 36-item version of the P-ARDI. The Cronbach’s
alpha coefficient for the aforementioned factors was found to be greater than 0.7.
In sum, the results suggest that the retirement decision process was found to be
much more complex and multidimensional.

Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of sport vision training on vision perception and decision making of handball referees. In this semi-experimental study, 30 handball referees were Participated among all the referees working in the Iranian Handball Premier League, then the selected referees divided into 2 sport vision training and control groups, randomly. The study included pre-test and post-test phases. Subsequently, participants completed Frastig vision perception test and made decisions after watching 30 prepared clips in pre-test phase. Afterwards, participants completed performing 8 weeks of determined sport vision training, each week included 3 sessions and each session lasted 45 minutes. Henceforth, the participants re-performed Frastig vision perception test and repeated decision making process after watching 30 determined clips. Finally, the collected data were analyzed by paired sample t-test and covariate statistical methods. The results indicated that sport vision training and decision making training significantly affected vision perception and decision making of handball referees. Therefore, the results suggest the utilization of vision perception and decision making training as an effective method in order to improve decision making and vision perception.
