Brain training on the court: can eye exercises sharpen a volleyball Player's game?

NCT ID NCT07676630

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates whether adding neuroscience-based exercise training to regular practice improves cortical activation, visual attention, and sport-specific performance in professional female volleyball players aged 16-21. Participants are randomly assigned to either an 8-week neuro-athletic training program (including eye warm-ups and visual-motor coordination drills) or regular training alone. Researchers measure changes in brain activity, gaze patterns, agility, serve speed, and balance before and after the program.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
neuro-athletic exercise training program
What this could lead to
If effective, this training could become a standard method to enhance cognitive and physical performance in athletes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training may not outperform regular practice.
