Basketball is a team sport that demands the athlete's attention due to the situational demands present during its development. Attention is a mediating factor that, combined with cognition and activation, allows the athlete to achieve maximum performance. However, in sports psychology's field, evidence on attention measurement is scarce. This paper aims to conduct a systematic review through an electronic search of the most widely used instruments to measure attention in basketball players. A total of 745 articles in the open-access electronic databases: REDALYC, ProQuest, Scielo, and the ResearchGate network of researchers, were reviewed. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, nine publications were relevant to this study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
The results show that the most widely used instrument is the Toulouse-Pieron test, and although there is no specific test in the scientific literature that is exclusively used to measure attention in basketball, we believe that this test meets the demands."
Key words: Psychology of sport, attention, psychometric test, basketball.
