“…However, this study is not exempt from limitations, and they must be acknowledged. First, our experimental sample was formed of physically active young adults, and the results of this study may vary in professional athletes from specific disciplines and people of other ages (Dørum et al, 2016; Ishigaki & Miyao, 1993; Ishigaki & Miyao, 1994; Plourde et al, 2017; Quevedo-Junyent et al, 2011). Second, previous studies have observed a sex-effect on the ability to track multiple objects and dynamic visual acuity (Ishigaki & Miyao, 1994; Roudaia & Faubert, 2017) and thus, the level of association between the multiple object tracking task and dynamic visual acuity could be different between men and women.…”

“…Athletes from different disciplines (i.e., basketball, tennis, soccer, water-polo, baseball, motorsport, etc.) have demonstrated better dynamic visual acuity than non-athletes (Hughes et al, 1993; Quevedo-Junyent et al, 2011; Schneiders et al, 2010; Uchida et al, 2012; Ward & Williams, 2003). These dynamic visual acuity advantages observed in professional athletes seem to be mediated by a more efficient eye movement pattern, namely by a good alignment between gaze and the moving object of interest, and an optimal saccade control (fewer reverse saccades) (Palidis et al, 2017).…”

We assessed the association between measures of dynamic visual acuity and a multiple object tracking task in physically active young adults. Ninety-four young adults performed the dynamic visual acuity and multiple object tracking tasks. Dynamic visual acuity was measured for horizontal and random walk motion paths at four target speeds (5, 10, 20, and 30°/s). For the multiple object tracking task, participants had to track three out of eight balls for 10 s, and the object speed was adjusted by a staircase procedure. We found that multiple object tracking performance was associated with better identification of horizontally and randomly moving targets in the dynamic visual acuity test ( p < .001, r = −.35 [−.52, −.16]; and p < .001, r = −.52 [−.65, −.35]; respectively). This effect was consistent across all target speeds (all p-values<0.05). However, static visual acuity did not correlate with any measure of dynamic visual acuity or multiple object tracking ( p > 0.170 in all cases). This study provides novel insights into the association between the ability to identify horizontally and randomly moving targets and track multiple objects. Future studies are needed to determine the potential utility of dynamic visual acuity for talent identification and predicting sports performance in real-game situations.

“…Die Erfolgsquote im Sport steht in Zusammenhang mit gutem dynamischen Sehen. Spitzensportler verfügen über eine bessere dynamische Sehschärfe, die durch Training verbessert werden kann [11]. Jedoch hat im Bereich des (Leistungs-)Sports die visuelle Leistungsdiagnostik noch immer einen sehr geringen Stellenwert [12].…”

ZusammenfassungVisuelle Fähigkeiten und Adaptationsreserven im Bereich der Blickmotorik sind mögliche Einflussfaktoren auf die sportliche Leistung. Sie sind für das Erreichen sportlicher Erfolge von Bedeutung und stehen deshalb im Fokus der Forschung. Ziel der Arbeit war es zu untersuchen, ob Leistungssportler bessere visuelle Leistungen aufweisen als Nicht‑/Freizeitsportler und ob es Unterschiede zwischen Individual- und Mannschaftssportlern gibt.In einer Querschnittsstudie wurden die periphere Wahrnehmung, Stereosehen und das afferente dynamische Sehen bei 61 Männern und 61 Frauen im Alter zwischen 14 und 59 Jahren getestet. Entsprechend ihrer sportlichen Aktivität erfolgte die Einteilung in die Kontrollgruppe (Nicht‑/Freizeitsportler; n = 42) und Leistungssportler (n = 80) mit mehr als 4‑mal Training pro Woche über mehr als 3 Jahre in den Untergruppen Individualsport (n = 37) und Mannschaftssport (n = 43). Gruppenunterschiede wurden mit dem Mann-Whitney-U-Test bzw. Kruskal-Wallis-Test geprüft.Die Ergebnisse weisen lediglich vereinzelt signifikante Unterschiede hinsichtlich der visuellen Fähigkeiten auf. Die Leistungssportler haben mit durchschnittlich 74,3 ± 55,2 Winkelsekunden eine bessere Tiefensehschärfe als die Kontrollgruppe mit 97,2 ± 79,8 Winkelsekunden (p < 0,05). Die periphere Wahrnehmung ist bei Leistungssportlern tendenziell besser im Vergleich zu Nicht‑/Freizeitsportlern. Rund 2,5 % der Leistungssportler waren fehlsichtig mit einem Visus unter 0,63. Die vorliegende Arbeit verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit, die Sehleistung der Sportler zu testen, um z. B. die Konsequenzen für ein gezieltes sportartspezifisches Training dieser Funktionen zu ziehen.

“…Kinetic visual acuity can help to predict uncorrected distance visual acuity to some extent ( 12 ). Existing studies have shown that the visual environment created in the process of physical activities is quite consistent with the principle of ciliary-muscle regulation, so specialized physical activities can improve people's kinetic visual acuity ( 13 , 14 ), and also improve uncorrected distance visual acuity, as well as create a series of changes in eye parameters ( 15 – 19 ). Therefore, special physical activities designed under the guidance of ciliary-muscle regulation principle, can improve children's uncorrected distance visual acuity by promoting their kinetic visual acuity, which is an effective measure to ameliorate children's vision.…”

This study is intended for exploring the effects of the physical activity combined with extra ciliary-muscle training with different frequencies on children's kinetic visual acuity and uncorrected distance visual acuity, and eventually figuring out the optimal frequency of ciliary-muscle training for each physical education class. To do the present research, A total of 160 students aged 10–11 from a school in Suzhou (a major city located in southeastern Jiangsu Province, East China) were randomly selected and divided into control group (n = 33), 15-frequency group (n = 44), 30-frequency group (n = 40) and 60-frequency group (n = 43), and the latter three experimental groups participated in a specially designed physical activity plan based on the training principles of ciliary muscle, while the control group participated in normal physical activity as usual. The experimental intervention period was 16 weeks, and all students' kinetic visual acuity and uncorrected distance visual acuity were measured before and after the experiment. The result showed that the kinetic visual acuity of the students in the 30 and 60-frequency groups got improved significantly after the experiment (p < 0.05), with the highest improvement occurring in the 30-frequency group, while there was no significant change in the 15-frequency group and the control group; The uncorrected distance visual acuity of the students in the 30 and 60-frequency groups was significantly improved after the experiment (p < 0.05), and the improvement range in these two groups was similar. In contrast, there was no significant change in the 15-frequency group, while the control group showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05). Physical activity combined with extra ciliary-muscle training has a positive effect on improving children's vision; at the same time, ciliary-muscle training with different frequencies bring out different outcomes on children's vision improvement, among which ciliary-muscle training with frequency of 30 in each physical education class is the best choice to enhance children's kinetic visual acuity and uncorrected distance visual acuity.
