Summary

The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effects of a stroboscopic training intervention on reactive agility and agility speed in basketball players, using identical movement patterns, and to evaluate perceptual-cognitive indices derived from the relationship between agility and reactive agility performance. This study hypothesized that stroboscopic visual training would significantly improve reactive agility and agility performance in adolescent male basketball players.

Conditions

  • Stroboscopic Visual Training

Interventions

OTHER

Neuromuscular exercise training with stroboscopic glassess

The SVT group performed basketball-specific neuromuscular warm-up exercises combined with stroboscopic glasses (Senaptec Strobe, Beaverton, ABD) at a duty cycle of 100 ms clear/150 ms opaque twice per week, whereas the control group completed the identical neuromuscular warm-up exercise protocol under normal visual conditions without visual perturbation. Specifically, stroboscopic eyewear alternates between transparent and opaque phases at adjustable frequencies, thereby restricting the amount and continuity of visual information available to the athlete. This controlled visual disruption is thought to activate neural networks involved in visual and cognitive processing, compelling athletes to perceive, decide, and respond under conditions of reduced or intermittent visual input.

Control group

The control group completed the identical neuromuscular warm-up exercise protocol under normal visual conditions without visual perturbation.
