Abstract:

The aim of the study was to examine whether and to what extent increased levels of pressure affect the performance quality of the world’s top darts players. This investigation contributes to the understanding of the psychological factors that influence performance in professional darts and in professional sports overall. Data was collected from over sixty professional tournaments held over a period of two years. The players were divided into 5 groups based on the quality of their performance during the studied period. The point values were divided into 7 groups, where the criterion was the dif

Abstract:

This study set out to explore the role of darts in acquisition of mathematical concepts. A case study was carried out in Mucheke Suburb, Masvingo Province, in Zimbabwe. Twenty participants (18 males and 2 females) from two teams in Masvingo District Darts Association were purposely selected to take part in the study. The researchers used interviews and participant observation to gather data since they also play for one of the teams studied. This study found out that darts are very useful in facilitating the acquisition of cognitive skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

Abstract:

Exercise training integrating physical and cognitive activities is gaining attention because of its potential benefits for brain health. This study focuses on exercise training using a dart game called Wellness Darts. Wellness Darts is a sport involving throwing darts and walking to pull them out of the board, memorizing the score, and subtracting this from the total score, thus requiring the simultaneous performance of two tasks: exercise and calculation. This is expected to maintain and improve cognitive function, and whether this continual darts training affects brain function is of great i

Darts has evolved from a traditional pub room game to a professional sport. More and more people worldwide are participating in the sport of dart throwing. In order to enhance throwing performance, it is important to understand the mechanics of precise dart throwing techniques. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the fine-tune control of joint kinematics with different vertical targets between different skill levels to understand how to increase the success rate and generate precise fine-tuning of the motor system.

Abstract:

In sport such as darts, athletes are particularly challenged by demands for concentration, skills underpinned by implicit learning, and fine motor skill control. Several techniques have been proposed to improve the implicit learning of such skills, including quiet eye training (QET) and quiet mind training (QMT). Here, the authors tested whether and to what extent QET or QMT, compared with a control condition, might improve skills among novice dart players. In total, 30 novice dart players were randomly assigned either to the QET, QMT, or a control condition. Dart playing skills were assessed

Abstract:

Competitive darts has become increasingly popular over the past few decades, and efforts have been made to have the game recognized as an Olympic sport in the future. The raised profile of the sport and the associated rewards bring up new challenges for the integrity of the game, as athletes are incentivized to exploit rule ambiguities in order to gain competitive advantages. In this research, it was hypothesized that uneven leg lengths and weights, which are comparatively easily realizable in prosthetic limbs, allow players to lean closer to the target and thus improve their throwing accuracy

Abstract:

In darts, the dominant limb typically has an advantage due to its superior performance characteristics. However, with training, the non-dominant limb can achieve nearly similar accuracy. Research suggests that left-handed individuals tend to have more balanced dexterity between their hands compared to right-handed individuals, who show a stronger preference for their dominant hand. This may provide a slight advantage for left-handed players. This study analyzed 12 participants (male and female, aged 20–25 years), including one left-handed male and one left-handed female, with the rest being ri

We propose an empirical Bayesian approach based on the Dirichlet-Multinomial (DM) model that overcomes limitations in the data. Specifically we introduce two DM-based skill models where the first model borrows strength from other darts players and the second model borrows strength from other regions of the dartboard. We

Abstract Task such as hammering or throwing darts involve intentional actions performed with the anticipation of a desired effect that requires precision to achieve success. Visual perception of the goal, defined in an external frame of reference, plays a crucial role in specifying movement parameters in a body-centered frame of reference. Physical interruption of the task decouples the internal and external frames of reference leading to rapid performance decrements.
