“…Superior binocular depth perception has been demonstrated to be more advantageous to athletes. 25 The eye-hand coordination is a critical skill in most outdoor sports that help organize and co-ordinate vision with motor senses. Vogel and Hale found that their subjects between the ages of 8 and 13, who had participated in organized athletics, scored significantly better (p=.0001) on an eye-hand coordination program of the Wayne Saccadic Fixator than children who did not participate in sports.…”

Every sport requires a set of visual skills that are critical elements to most sports performance. A considerable debate has taken place concerning the role of vision in sports performance but it is the training of these specific skills that influence to strengthen specific visual abilities resulting in actually improved performance. This article highlights the current perspectives on the importance of visual training on visual skills enhancement leading to an improved performance in sports. It also gives further insights in the need of future longitudinal trials involving athletes from diverse sports as well as recommends visual skills training to be included in the routine training of the athletes at all levels.

“…Junior baseball/ softball players demonstrated significantly better static near stereo acuity using the Randot Stereotest than non-ball players, with comparable results to professional baseballers. 7 Distance stereo acuity in major league baseball players exceeded that of minor league players. 8 Dynamic stereo acuity measurements would be more relevant in sports with moving targets.…”

“…5 It is critical in both viewing static objects (such as a golf ball placed on a tee) as well as dynamic movement (such as hitting a baseball). 6,7 As stereo acuity is critical to human performance across many different tasks, it begs the question, is there evidence that athletes, at the highest level of their professions, have better stereo acuity than non-athletes? If research can prove this point, this knowledge may be transferred to help others achieve the same high level of stereo acuity through vision training.…”

Purpose: To investigate stereo acuity of professional athletes in an open (baseball) and closed (golf) skilled sport compared to nonathletes using a new digitized version of the Titmus Stereo Test/Wirt Circles. Additionally, to examine the new test for reliability and validity. Methods: Participants included professional baseball players (PBP; n = 265) and professional women golfers (LPGA; n = 52), and nonathletes (n = 107). All participants were tested on the RightEye Fine Depth Perception (FDP) test and a subset (n = 20) was retested to determine reliability and internal consistency. A different subset (n = 81) was tested for validity comparing the Titmus Stereo Test/Wirt Circles to the RightEye FDP test. Cronbach’s Alpha, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were examined for reliability and ANOVA was conducted to determine convergent validity as well as differences in stereo acuity between groups. Results: Results: The test was revealed to have high reliability and validity, therefore being a good measure of stereo acuity. Furthermore, significant differences (p<.001) between athletes and non-athletes were found. Both PBP and LPGA athletes were significantly different from non-athletes (p<.05). No differences were found between athlete groups. Conclusions: The RightEye FDP test is both reliable and valid and can therefore be used confidently as a measure of static stereo acuity. Elite athletes in open and closed skills show significantly better stereo acuity than non-athletes.

“…S'anotaven les respostes de l'observador traduïdes a agudesa estereoscòpica (segons d'arc), així com el temps de resposta en segons. Coffey i Reichow (1990b) o Boden, Rosegren, Martin i Boden (2009), troben que aquesta habilitat és superior en esportistes que en sedentaris. D'altra banda, diversos autors han emfatitzat la importància de mesurar el temps de resposta en el context esportiu com a element de valoració qualitativa (Planer, 1994).…”
