Enhanced sports performance, in our current world, is being pushed at the professional level and down to school-age children as well. Money is being spent on lessons and equipment to enhance performance. One new method to enhance performance is stroboscopic vision goggles. The glasses lenses flicker removing visual information for a brief moment. The claim is that they train connections between the eyes, brain, and body. We want to see if this product truly does enhance visual performance during a softball season for high school girls.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Vergence ranges | Vergence ranges measured how many prism diopters the subject can turn their eyes in (base out) and how far they can relax them out (base in). This score is also a good measure of how much peripheral fusion a person has. | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Developmental eye movement | Developmental eye movement will measure how fast the subject can track numbers vertically and horizontally. | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Randot stereopsis test | Randot stereopsis test will measures how many ARC seconds of stereo the subject has. This test measures the subject's magno and parvocellular stereo tracking their peripheral or central fusion. | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Accommodative ranges | Accommodative ranges will measure how many times the subject can clear an image looking through a plus and minus accommodation flipper in thirty seconds. | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Acuity | Acuity will measure the clarity of vision at a distance of twenty feet. | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Stereo Scores | Stereo Scores will measure how quickly the athlete recognizes depth perception | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Batting statistics | Batting statistics including on-base percentage, batting average, slugging percentage, hard-hit ball percentage will be provided by the coach at the end of the season for the current year and prior year. Subjects will need a minimum of 20 at-bats in a season for collection of these statistics. | 8 weeks | |
Secondary | Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) | Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) measures the total number of postural errors committed in a 30-second trial standing on flat surface and foam pad. It provides a measure of balance and proprioceptive ability. | 8 weeks |
