Summary

This trial is testing if stroboscopic vision goggles, which flicker to remove visual information for a brief moment, can enhance visual performance during a softball season for high school girls.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for high school girls aged 14-18 who play softball and are interested in improving their sports performance. It's not suitable for those with a history of seizures or vestibular impairments, nor for anyone who has previously used stroboscopic vision training.
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether wearing Senaptec Strobe Glasses, which flicker to momentarily remove visual information, can enhance the sports performance of softball players during their season compared to standard training drills.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly mentioned, potential side effects may include temporary disorientation, headaches or dizziness due to the flickering effect of the glasses.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Stroboscopic Training GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Treatment group, which will receive stroboscopic training during hitting and fielding drills. The glasses look like sunglasses but have liquid crystal technology that causes a flicker from clear to opaque. The glasses flickering will be controlled on the side of the glasses by the researcher. When the athlete can complete a skill proficiently by catching or hitting during training the level of flickering will be increased to challenge the visual system more.
Group II: Standard softball drillsActive Control1 Intervention
Control group, which will perform normal hitting and fielding drills without stroboscopic training
