Laser focus: new study tests if attention tricks boost basketball skills
NCT ID NCT07546890
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether teen basketball players get better results from shoulder exercises when they focus on a laser beam instead of just doing the moves. Thirty male players aged 10-18 will be split into two groups: one uses the laser focus, the other does the same exercises without it. Researchers will measure balance, stability, and throwing performance to see if the laser focus makes a difference.
