Abstract

Vision may be the most variable and selective of all the senses. Attempting to observe the fast movements that occur in sports places a great demand on human vision. There is evidence that vision plays an important role in the perceptual ability of an athlete, corresponding proportionately to his motor response. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of sports vision training on the sensory and cognitive abilities and motor performance of table tennis amateurs. Thirty healthy, female, university level tennis players with normal vision participated in the study and were randomly allocated into two groups: group I (experimental, n=15) and group II (control, n=15). The experimental group underwent twelve weeks of vision training, occurring two days a week for 40 minutes per session. The control group was not provided any vision training. At the end of eight weeks, statistical analysis indicated significant improvement in the experimental group for all measured visual variables: reaction time, hand-eye coordination, visual acuity, and visual cognitive skills. In conclusion twelve weeks of visual calisthenics sessions resulted in improved reaction time, hand-eye coordination, visual acuity, and visual cognitive skills dynamics.
