Effect of Action Video Games and Stroboscopic Glasses on Dynamic Visual Acuity.

During the last years there have been several investigations related to the effect of action video games (VA) on the visual system, specifically perceptual and cognitive processes. These investigations indicate that playing VA can be a powerful tool for improving visuo-spatial attention, visuo-motor control, and reaction time. On the other hand, certain studies indicate that the use of stroboscopic glasses can help improve sports performance, and especially dynamic visual acuity , as well as various visual performance skills. The study aims to observe the possible improvement of performance in dynamic visual acuity (DVA), in terms of speed and trajectory, comparing training using action video games and strobe glasses. The results will allow us to understand which visual training is more beneficial for improving dynamic visual acuity in athletes.
