This research examined the relationship of visual attention on stress level of shooting athletes in a laboratory setting. Thirty shooting athletes (15 male, 15 female) aged 16 to 24, who played at least ten hours of sport per week, performed a task testing central and peripheral visual attention under three stress condition in a Latin Square design.This study found that, under the stressful conditions, participants had significantly greater errors in detection of signals from the central and peripheral targets under the two most stressful conditions, physical activity, and noise/physical activity. Also, participants produced significantly greater error in detection of peripheral signals as the peripheral angle increased from 71 -80 , through 81 -90 , to 91 -100 , supporting that hypothesis. The hypothesis that participants in the stressful conditions would show significantly greater response time to signals from the central and peripheral targets than participants in the control condition was also partially supported. The results showed that participants in the stressful conditions had significantly greater response time to central and peripheral target signals under the two most stressful conditions, physical activity, and noise/physical activity. As the peripheral angle increased from 71 -80 , through 81 -90 , to 91 -100 , response time increased. Significant differences were shown in post hoc tests for the differences between 71 -80 and 91 -100 , thus partially supporting that hypothesis. This indicates that as angle and stress increased the response time effect, i.e., slowing down, got bigger.
