Flicker glasses may sharpen Athletes' senses
NCT ID NCT07323108
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether wearing stroboscopic glasses during exercise can improve athletic performance in volleyball players. Forty professional male players were split into two groups: one used the glasses while doing lunges, jumps, and balance exercises, and the other did the same exercises without glasses. Researchers measured reaction time, agility, anaerobic power, balance, and coordination before, after 6 weeks, and after 10 weeks of training.
