Sports Vision

Background: Sports vision is a relatively new specialty, which has attracted particular interest in recent years from trainers and athletes, who are looking at ways of improving their visual skills to attain better performance on the field of play. The objective of this study was to use citation networks to analyze the relationships between the different publications and authors, as well as to identify the different areas of research and determine the most cited publication. Methods: The search for publications was carried out in the Web of Science database, using the terms “sport”, “vision”, and “eye” for the period between 1911 and August 2020. The publication analysis was performed using the Citation Network Explorer and CiteSpace software. Results: In total, 635 publications and 801 citations were found across the network, with 2019 being the year with the highest number of publications. The most cited publication was published in 2002 by Williams et al. By using the clustering functionality, four groups covering the different research areas in this field were found: ocular lesion, visual training methods and efficiency, visual fixation training, and concussions. Conclusions: The citation network offers an objective and comprehensive analysis of the main papers on sports vision.

10 male and 10 female students in physical education aged 19 to 23 yr. were each randomly assigned to both the experimental and control groups. Experimental subjects were given the 4-wk. Eyerobics visual skills training to assess its effects on static balance performance as measured on a balance stabilometer. Analysis indicated that the women performed significantly better than the men over-all. Balance performance by the trained group improved significantly.

Over Time

Sports vision training involves eye focusing and movement workouts that center on the visual tracking of objects. The purpose of sports vision training is to improve performance in various sports by improving visual responses and processing, such as by lowering reaction times. In 2015, the Athletic Eye Institute started a sports vision-training program study with the Oregon State University Softball Team in the hopes of increasing the dynamic visual skills of their players. There were two aims of this study. The first aim was to test the hypothesis that softball athletes would show improvement over time in the specific sports vision training tests. The second aim was to test the hypothesis that sports vision training would lead to improvements of offensive batting statistics from the 2015 season, when players did not have vision training, to the 2016 season, after players had begun vision training. Results showed significant improvements in the scores from the initial to final training session for eight out of ten visual training tests. However, OSU softball player offensive batting statistics showed no significant improvement from the 2015 season to the 2016 season, or compared to other teams. This study showed that performances of sports vision tests can be improved over time with training, but that these improvements may not translate into improvements in softball offensive batting statistics.

Perceptual Assessment

This study examines the possible existence of a perceptual hierarchy which is systematically affected by the onset of adventitious visual impairment. Eighty people with partial vision were tested prior to beginning a visual skills training program. Four perceptual categories were examined. These included COPY/DRAW, TARGET MATCH, FIGURE-GROUND, and READING tasks. The results indicate that there is a demarcation of difficulty between the simpler and more complex levels of the hierarchy. Additionally, this crossover takes place at the figure-ground level, with the strongest relationships occurring between reading-related tasks such as letter and word searching as well as the reading of text and the individual's performance on figure-ground discrimination. The implications of these results in light of previous work in this area are discussed.
