Vision is central to success in nearly all sports, and there is an emerging body of research investigating the links between visual abilities and athletic performance. This preregistered scoping review seeks to clarify the topics of study, methodologies used, populations under investigation, researchers, and disciplines driving this field. Systematic searches of English-language articles were conducted in PubMed and Web of Science, with additional literature identified through bibliographic searches. Six hundred sixty-seven articles published between 1976 and 2023 were identified with 547 empirical studies, 58 review articles, 20 commentaries, and 4 meta-analyses, among others. Among the empirical papers, 411 reported on visual assessments and 98 on vision training interventions. The most represented sports included baseball, soccer, basketball, and cricket, with over 150 articles reporting on professional, elite, or Olympic athletes. This scoping review describes the breadth of this emerging field, identifies its strengths and weaknesses, and provides recommendations for future improvement.

Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology

运动与运动心理学杂志 (JSEP) 是一份经过同行评审的出版物，旨在激发和交流运动和运动心理学所有领域的研究理论。 JSEP 强调原创的研究报告，这些报告促进了我们对与运动和锻炼相关的人类行为的理解。还鼓励采用定性和定量方法的综合审查，以及对具有特殊兴趣或重要性的精心设计的研究的简要报告。感兴趣的领域包括社会、临床、发展和实验心理学以及心理生物学和人格研究。此外，术语运动和锻炼可能与自变量或因变量有关。一般来说，运动控制过程、体育作为社会机构的研究或更广泛的社会问题的工作超出了 JSEP 的范围。研究运动和运动心理学主题的方法多种多样。

The Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology (JSEP) is a peer-reviewed academic journal aimed at inspiring and disseminating research theories across all areas of sport and exercise psychology. The journal emphasizes original research reports that enhance our understanding of human behavior related to sport and exercise. It also encourages comprehensive reviews using both qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as brief reports on well-designed studies of particular interest or significance. Areas of interest include social psychology, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, experimental psychology, psychobiology, and personality research. Additionally, the terms 'sport' and 'exercise' may relate to either independent or dependent variables. Generally, studies on motor control processes, sports as social institutions, or broader social issues fall outside the scope of JSEP. The methods for researching topics in sport and exercise psychology are diverse.
