Abstract Background In team sports, deficits in visuomotor reaction speed are considered a significant and modifiable risk factor that can lead to decreased performance an increased of injuries. Thus, identifying effective methods enhance abilities is crucial. The main objective this research was investigate the impact six-week stroboscopic intervention on goal-directed specific movements based agility among young volleyball players. Additionally, study aimed explore saccade dynamics...

Background: Recent research suggests that an athlete’s gaze behavior plays a significant role in expert sport performance. However, there is lack of studies investigating sex differences during technical and tactical actions. Objectives: Therefore, the purpose this study was to analyze eye movements elite female male handball goalkeepers penalty throws. Methods: In total, 40 participated (female: n = 20; male: 20). Eye were recorded series five throws real-time conditions. The number...

The ability to quickly locate objects within the visual field has a significant influence on athletic performance. Saccades are conjugate eye movements responsible for rapid shift that brings new part of into foveal vision. aim this study was investigate effects sport expertise and intense physical effort saccade dynamics during free-viewing search task in skilled soccer players. Two groups male subjects participated study: 18 players non-athletes as control group. sessions tasks without...

Limited evidence is available providing specific details about the perceptual-cognitive and motor factors that contribute to reactive agility (RA) variations between genders in young athletes. The aim of study was investigate determinants RA competitive youth volleyball players. A total 135 players (61 males, 74 females) aged 16-18 years were included this study. independent variables as follows: explosive strength, maximal frequency movements, simple complex reaction time, selective...

Stroboscopic training is based on an exercise with intermittent visual stimuli that force a greater demand the visuomotor processing for improving performance under normal vision. While stroboscopic effect used as effective tool to improve information in general perceptual-cognitive tasks, there still lack of research focused identifying protocols sport-specific settings. Therefore, we aimed at assessing effects in-situ visual, and reactive agility young volleyball players. Fifty athletes...

This study examined whether patients with glaucoma exhibit differences in eye-hand coordination tasks compared to age-matched normal-sighted control subjects. Twenty-eight moderate-to-advanced stages of and 28 subjects no ocular disease participated the study. The Motor Performance Series (MLS) Vienna Test System including aiming, linear tracking, tremor, tapping tests were used assess coordination. Monocular Humphrey Visual Field binocular Esterman estimate visual field (VF) defect...

Sensorimotor adaptability facilitates adjusting behaviour for changing environmental stimuli to maintain appropriate goal-directed motor performance. Its effectiveness is associated with perceptual-cognitive modulation. As the factors affecting it are still not completely known, aim of our study was therefore analyse association between selected variables (demographic, training, anthropometric, genetic) and sensorimotor adaptation in reactive agility tasks youth team-sport athletes. The...

Stroboscopic training enhances perceptual cognition and motor skills; however, neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this adaptation are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a six-week stroboscopic program on conductivity visual pathway in elite handball players, specifically related their processing retinal location viewing conditions. The included 22 players who were randomly assigned an experimental or control group. Both groups performed...

Although previous studies have reported an association between physical activity (PA) and myopia in school-aged children, little is known about the link children’s functional status. The purpose of this study was to investigate dynamic balance control relation daily PA levels myopic schoolchildren aged 9−11 years (n = 52) versus a non-myopic group 53). A single leg stance test performed on instability platform Biodex Balance System used assess control. overall stability index (OSI),...

The aim of the study was to explore functional impairments and related factors in older adults with moderate advanced stages glaucoma. Nineteen patients glaucoma 19 participants no ocular disease performed step test balance control tasks analysis overall stability index fall risk index. Monocular binocular Humphrey Visual Field tests were used estimate visual field defect severity. International Physical Activity Questionnaire measure physical activity level. Patients showed poorer values...

Glaucoma affects a wide spectrum of daily essential activities in older adults. This study examined whether adults with moderate and advanced stages glaucoma exhibit differences visuomotor task performance compared age- gender-matched ophthalmologically healthy control subjects estimated the effects physical activity (PA) levels, age, severity visual impairment on patients' performance. Sixty glaucoma, normal sight participated study. Visuomotor processing was assessed using laboratory-based...

Despite the critical importance of binocular vision integrity in daily activities, there exists limited understanding how alterations impact gaze behaviour during dynamic, complex psychomotor skills. This study aimed to measure integrity, created by Bangerter filters (BF), affect multiple object tracking (MOT).During experiment, 22 volunteers completed MOT task under three different visual conditions. The first condition involved natural viewing, while second and third conditions used 0.4...

This study aimed to assess the impact of manipulating postural stability during execution multiple objects tracking (MOT) task on gaze behaviour. Twenty-eight males performed MOT under three levels while eye movements were recorded. Postural had a significant scores and Participants exhibited worse performance (p < 0.001, η² = 0.20) in less stable conditions, showing reduced fixation duration 0.020, 0.09) increased saccade frequency 0.013, 0.10). As conditions decreased, participants shifted...

Background: Although stroboscopic effects are recognized as an effective tool for enhancing information processing in general perceptual-cognitive tasks, research on their transfer to sport-specific skills is limited. This study aims evaluate the impact of a 6-week intervention volleyball-specific blocking reaction speed. Additionally, it analyzes variation explosive leg strength potential factor influencing effectiveness volleyball blocking. Material and Methods: included 50 young players...

The authors investigated the dynamics of saccadic parameters during a stationary oculomotor target task in amputee soccer players ( n = 16), able-bodied and nonathletic control subjects 16). Eye movements visual-search tasks were recorded binocularly using mobile eye-tracking system, gaze analyzed (fixation duration, saccade amplitude, average acceleration, peak deceleration, velocity, ocular mobility index). acceleration was significantly lower than p .021).
