Flicker glasses: the next edge for young hoopers?
NCT ID NCT07168681
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether wearing stroboscopic glasses—which flicker to limit visual input—during exercise can improve thinking, physical performance, and balance in adolescent male basketball players. Thirty-six players aged 14–19 will do a six-week training program either with or without the glasses. The goal is to see if this visual challenge can sharpen key athletic skills.
