First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether training with stroboscopic glasses—goggles that flicker on and off—can improve athletic performance in volleyball players. Fifty-four male professional players were split into two groups: one trained with the glasses, the other without. After six weeks, researchers measured reaction time, agility, jumping power, balance, and coordination. The goal was to see if this unusual training tool could sharpen skills.
