Good coordination of movements is extremely important in many sports, that's why researchers from the company Nike developed glasses with a stroboscopic light source to improve the view of athletes.

According to a study presented at a meeting of the Society for the Study of Sight, experienced football, basketball and soccer players who used a light source reported that they saw the ball better, because they could mark the trajectory of his flight and, apparently, observe his movement to more Slower pace than usual.

The study involved more than 500 athletes who wore the device during training. "Lenses glasses are alternately then transparent, then clouded, while the change of states can occur with 8 speeds," - explain the authors of the study.

Subsequent computer tests showed that some subjects noticed less movement and smaller details of the image than without stroboscopic glasses.

"The results, of course, differed among the different participants, but, in general, stroboscopic training improves sight and attention. The differences are not fixed by all the tests, but a number of them have revealed significant improvements, "says study leader Stephen Mitroff.
