Gaze behavior and gender in pistol shooting

Gaze behavior (quiet eye and pupillometry) and performance (scores) longitudinal data from male and female cadets in the execution of pistol shooting under low and high pressure. The study was carried out over four sessions, with intervals of 4.5 months between them. During each session, 16 men and 12 women, first-year cadets (mean age 21.5 ± 1.6 years) of The Brazilian Army Academy, performed a series of ten pistol shots under low pressure and ten shots under high pressure (time constraint, backpack, and instructor disturbance). The order of pressure conditions was counterbalanced among participants and sessions. The cadets shot in the upright position and wore an eye-tracker. The shots were fired from a 40cm-platform using a regulation pistol and ammunition at a target distance of 15 meters from the shooter and whose center was at 140cm from the floor.
