In adults, longer quiet-eye (QE) durations have been associated with more successful sport performances and less deterioration in skill during anxiety-inducing situations. This study aimed to establish if QE patterns in youth are similar to those reported in adults. Ten youth shooters, age 13.13 ± 0.83 years, completed an air-pistol task under a control and an anxiety condition. Mixed-design 2 (performance outcome) × 2 (condition) ANOVA tests were conducted with two performance measures—objective and coach rated. No significant main or interaction effects were found. Unlike in adults, performance and anxiety did not differentiate QE duration in youth athletes, although QE duration was longer during good shots than poor shots across both performance measures, and the shortest durations were recorded during poor shots in the anxiety condition. This preliminary exploration encourages more research with youth athletes to determine the efficacy of QE patterns across different learners.

对于成年人来说，较长的静眼（QE）持续时间与更成功的运动表现以及在引起焦虑的情况下较少的技能下降有关。这项研究旨在确定青少年的量化宽松模式是否与成年人的量化宽松模式相似。十名青少年射击运动员，年龄13.13±0.83岁，在控制和焦虑状态下完成了气手枪任务。混合设计 2（表现结果）× 2（条件）方差分析测试采用两种表现衡量指标（目标和教练评分）进行。没有发现显着的主效应或交互效应。与成年人不同的是，青少年运动员的 QE 持续时间与表现和焦虑并没有区别，尽管在这两种表现测量中，良好击球时的 QE 持续时间比较差击球时的 QE 持续时间要长，并且在焦虑状态下，较差击球时记录的 QE 持续时间最短。这一初步探索鼓励对青年运动员进行更多研究，以确定量化宽松模式对不同学习者的有效性。
