Summary
This pilot study tested whether wearing stroboscopic glasses during warm-up exercises could improve agility and reaction time in 10 adolescent male basketball players. For six weeks, one group did basketball drills with glasses that flickered between clear and opaque, while a control group did the same drills without the glasses. The goal was to see if limiting visual information could sharpen the players' ability to react and change direction quickly.
