Basing the research objects on 41 volleyball players of different sports ratings, the author used a mixed design experiment, let the testees watch players serving movement videos, and respectively recorded the testees’ behavior index and eye movement data under the conditions of watching normal serving movement structure, changing movement time structure and changing movement space structure. Results: When the players estimated served ball landing points, with the increase of sports rating, the players tended to adopt a speed strategy; a visual search conducted by the players on served ball movement information was a process based on identifying movement information pattern structure characteristics, under the condition of changing the time characteristics of served ball movement information pattern struc-ture, the players adopted a visual search pattern with fewer fixation counts, a shorter fixation time, a smaller saccade am-plitude, and a simple, regular and line-like fixation track; under the condition of changing the space characteristics of served ball movement information pattern structure, the players adopted a visual search pattern with more fixation counts, a longer fixation time, a bigger saccade amplitude, and a complicated, regular and ring-like fixation track. The results indi-cated that there were differences between visual search patterns adopted in the 3 different ways of processing movement information pattern structure characteristics.
