“…Light Sport Training System is a complex system comprised of wireless lights that light up randomly or in a pre-determined order and deactivate following the user’s touch. This system is used for RT assessment, physical training, and coordination development [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ] to create visuomotor challenges via central and peripheral visual stimuli; thus, performance can be represented as either the number of completed responses (hits; as a balance measurement) or the average time between responses (milliseconds; as an RT measurement).…”

“…Different methods have been developed and validated to assess RT and balance and are commonly used in sports research [ 33 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Light Sport Training System is a complex system commonly used for RT assessment, physical training, and coordination development [ 41 , 42 , 43 ]. Hence, this system can highlight perceiving and integrating complex moving patterns while allocating attentional resources in different critical areas of the dynamic scene.…”

This study’s aim was two-fold: (i) to test the intra-session reliability of the one-leg balance activity test; and (ii) to assess the influence of age on reaction time (RT) and the differences between dominant and non-dominant feet. Fifty young soccer players with an average age of 12.4 ± 1.8 years were divided into two groups: younger soccer players (n = 26; 11.6 ± 0.9 years) and older soccer players (n = 24; 14.2 ± 0.8 years). Each group then completed four trials (two with each leg) of the one-leg balance activity (OLBA) to evaluate RT under a single-leg stance. Mean RT and the number of hits were calculated, and the best trial was also selected. T-tests and Pearson correlations were performed for statistical analysis. Values for RT were lower, and the number of hits was higher while standing on the non-dominant foot (p = 0.01). MANOVA revealed that the “Dominant Leg” factor did not affect the multivariate composite (Pillai Trace = 0.05; F(4, 43) = 0.565; p = 0.689; Partial ETA Squared = 0.050; Observed Power = 0.174). The “Age” factor did not present an effect on the multivariate composite (Pillai Trace = 0.104; F(4, 43) = 1.243; p = 0.307; Partial ETA Squared = 0.104; Observed Power = 0.355). The results of the present investigation demonstrate that RT may be lower while standing on the non-dominant foot.

Purpose: While long-term training with stroboscopic eyewear suggests performance-enhancing effects on visuomotor abilities, it remains unclear whether a short-term application, for example, during a warm-up, results in immediate performance gains. This study evaluated potential performance-enhancing effects of stroboscopic eyewear applied during warm-up on reaction speed that may provide athletes an edge in visuomotor-demanding sports. Methods: Twenty-eight international-level table tennis athletes participated in this study. Participants performed their individual 10-minute table-tennis-specific warm-up under normal visual conditions and with stroboscopic eyewear. Prior to and after the warm-up, visuomotor reaction time was assessed in a sport-specific reaction test where athletes had to return 30 table tennis balls played by a ball machine at high speed to their backhand side. Reaction time was determined as the interval between ball output and movement onset as triggered by a mechanical switch. Furthermore, the time between ball–table contact and ball–racket contact (hit time) was analyzed as an indicator of how early the athletes intercepted the ball. Results: Reaction time significantly improved following the warm-up (P < .001, ). However, there was no additional benefit of the stroboscopic eyewear (P = .338, ). No changes after the warm-up were observed for hit time (P = .246, ). Conclusions: The results indicate that warm-up facilitated visuomotor reaction speed; however, stroboscopic eyewear did not provide additional positive effects when compared to a warm-up under normal visual conditions. While shutter glasses may be useful for training over longer periods, short-term positive effects were not supported in this study.
