Before watching this I knew there was a "mental side" to every sport, but I did not fully understand how important it really is. The Nike Strobe was very interesting, and something I would love to try and experience. I found it very interesting how one with a concussion will have significantly lower scores on the tests in the second video.
ReplyDeleteThe dynavision board is something used in PT as well.
DeleteI think that trying the Nike Strobe sounds really cool too! I also didn't understand how imortant reaction time was.
DeleteFor me Nike Strobe would be something id like to try for baseball and each and every sport has its own "mental side" of it and its cool how everything works together during your particular sport.
DeleteI really like that new technology is coming out for concussion testing. I thought it was interesting too!
DeleteI thought the strobe glasses were really cool because they effected your reaction time by not allowing you to see as well. A lot of the athletes said once they took them off the football looked like the size of a beach ball. All three of these training methods help your reaction time. The board worked more hand-eye coordination, as the ISpan worked hands and feet more at the same time because you had to move more.
ReplyDeleteWhich test in your opinion would be best to help you with football?
DeleteNike Strobe because it will make it tougher to catch passes being partially disabled in both eyes or just one.
DeleteI agree with how you said that the ISpan worked hands and feet because you can really see how tired the guy was when he was done. I thought the strobe glasses were cool as well and really helped you in training your reaction time. We should ask for a pair for Christmas ;)

ReplyDeleteThe Nike strobe was very interesting. At first, I was confused about what it did and how it helped athletes but once it was explained and once one of the athletes said that catching a tennis ball (without the glasses after having worn them at first) it was like catching a beach ball because it was so easy.
ReplyDeleteThe Dynavision board was, once again, interesting but I like the Nike Strobe better. The Dynavision tested a lot of peripheral vision and hand-eye coordination and I understand how it would be beneficial for athletes and even people in therapy.
The Dynavision ISpan was really cool but I probably wouldn't have been able to do much better than the guy in the video. I think the Dynavison ISpan and the Nike Strobe are probably more beneficial to athletes because they're able to run and practice while also practicing the psychomotor skills.
When a player made a comment about the football being a beach ball, it really intrigued me. I thought the Nike Strobe was very interesting as well.
DeleteI agree with how intresting it was seeing the difference it made from a tennis ball to a beach ball without the glasses on.
DeleteI also liked the nike strobe better because i think it would help them catch the ball and help them more in the long run.
I agree with not being able to do it well and with the others being more benefical because in the second one it tested more fast reaction movements rather than the Ispan.
I agree with you that the Nike Strobe and the Dynavison ISpan are more beneficial to athletes than the Dyanvision board. The athletes would be moving or doing something related to their sport while training their eyes and their brains to function better.
DeleteI agree with the Ispan statement and the Nike Strobe statement. I think theses product work the best cause the athletes are running and playing there sport but to a harder level..so when they arent using those products the sport becomes easier to them
DeleteI agree that the Nike strobe and the Ispan would be very helpfull, especially the Nike Strobe. However I think the dynavision board was very good for your peripheral vision, and it would be usefull for having fast reflexes for things you cant fully see.
DeleteI thought the Nike strobe glasses were interesting to learn how it can make such a big difference with them on and off. I also thought it was cool how when they take the glasses off how much it helped them catch the ball better because in the tennis ball exercise he said it felt like he was catching a beach ball.
ReplyDeleteI think that dynavision board was interesting as well. I think it would be beneficial for football players to do this to see every angle and to help train and improve their reaction time. I think eye sight and hand coordination play a big role in the reaction time with the board.
I think the dynavision Ispan was a different way to test someones speed. As well as the dynavision board i think it would help football players make complete passes and improve their abilities. I also think peoples speed can be improved by doing this because it gives them practice to react to things fastly.

DeleteI agree, hand-eye coordination and reaction time are tested and strengthened using the Dynavision Board.
DeleteI thought the Nike Strobe glasses were a very interesting and unique way to train your eyes and your brain to function quicker and more efficient. I think in many sports where hand-eye coordination is important that these glasses could really help people. I do cross country and track and I don't really see a point to use them in those sports besides maybe handing off the baton to your teammate. I think with the right training these glasses will help improve reaction time of athletes tremendously.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think would help for track? maybe reaction to sound stimulus?
DeleteI agree with you on the fact that we as runners don't necessarily need this but for the right sport and the right athlete it would benefit reaction time incredibly.
DeleteI defiantly think that some form of a sound stimulus would help for track whether it was practicing starts to random beeps or doing some different hearing games like we did in the lab the other day.
DeleteMy favorite product from them was the strobe glasses because I think they are very useful for training and improving your reaction time. All the products they had are definitely useful in improving your speed and hand-eye coordination. I would like to use these products one day. As for genetics, I don't believe they have anything to do with your reaction time. You get a fast reaction time with training and improving it with drills. These videos helped me realize that and how to improve my skills as well.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the strobe glasses, and I think they seem like the best ones to help improve reaction time.
DeleteI agree, the Nike Strobe glasses were my favorite too. They definitely help improve reaction time and with hand-eye coordination as well.I think it'd be fun to try them out first-hand.
DeleteI somewhat agree with genetics not having anything to do with reaction time, but in some regard they do. You are born with good eye-sight, quick hands, but also can train yourself to become quicker in those aspects. Like you were saying though, they do not completely determine how fast you react to light/sound.
DeleteI also thought the dynavision board was interesting!
ReplyDeleten my opinion I really think that all of these products could help test and even improve reaction time, some better than others. The Nike Strobes would be the one that I think would help with the most improvement in athletes.The other product that I think would help athletes is the I-Span, because you are constantly moving and using all of your vision to keep track of where the light is at. Reaction time is something that is genetic but I think that you can train yourself so that you become better at it.
ReplyDeletei agree that the Nike strobes would help the most for an athlete.it can help you with your hand eye cordination which i think is a very important skill to have for almost all sports.
DeleteThe mental side to every sport is very important.i liked how you could strengthen your mental side of the sport that you play because that is one of the most important things about a sport.i thought the Nike strobe was a very good tool that could help strengthen your mind help you become better with your sport.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the mental part of your game is important because if you cant be calm and composed you will start to make mistakes and these products help focus and handle stress a lot better.
DeleteI agree that every sport requires a mental side. I think that strengthening your mental aspect is half of the sport someone plays.
DeleteI agree that the Nike vapor strobe would be a very good tool not only for helping you at your sport, but also helping improve your vision sense in total.
DeleteI agree that the Nike Strobe could be one of the best tools you can use to strengthen your reaction time, but i don't think reaction time is everything.
DeleteI think that the Nike strobe glasses will actually help athletes perform better. I believe that wearing the glasses during practice and making it harder to see will make it easier to see when game time comes around and you are not wearing them
ReplyDeleteI think that the Dynavision board would be great to teach and help reaction time increase. Also, since reaction time could be good or bad based on genetics, learning this board and adding it to a practice routine everyday could help increase reaction time to the desired ability.
Dynavision Ispain, I think is pretty cool. Even though I run and do not necessarily need great hand-eye coordination during a race I would still like to try this. For the sports that hand-eye coordination is very important for, this would be a great way to practice it and watch yourself get better at this ability time after time.
I also agree with how it could help athletes perform a lot better and with doing the glasses before it could help them see easier rather than not wearing the glasses before.
DeleteI also think it would be a good way to increase reaction time because it trains you to react faster rather than not doing the exercise at all.
I also would like to try this and think its important for many sports and to increase speed and reaction times.
Even thought you don´t need hand eye coordination for running its a good thing to have.. but i think runners need good reaction time so the react to the gun shot when the race starts. Starting a second late can put you behind the coward.
DeleteEvery sport there has uses almost every part of your body and some more than others but everything is still very important. I really liked the dynavision board because it really works on your reaction time and your peripheral vision. I also really liked the Nike Strobe because its like you're blinking and you have to be ready every second because it might strobe when the ball is right in front of you and if you're not ready then you might miss it. The ISpan works your speed, vision and reaction time all in one invention.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Nike strobe part because you are right it teaches to really keep your eye on whatever you are focusing on. It teaches you to never look away.
DeleteI liked the Nike strobe too. It makes you predict where the ball in going to end up when it take away visual information.
DeleteI think reaction time is one of the most important things in almost all sports the faster you comprehend something the faster you can counter or defend it. Not all people are born with great reaction times or great hand-eye coordination, these products are really cool because if you are not born with those two things these products can help you tremendously and they will make you a better athlete in the end.

I agree that not everyone is born with top notch reaction time and hand-eye coordination and these products can really help people who struggle in those categories and can really work them to get better.
Deletei also think reaction time is a key element to being a great athlete and these machines can help you create or strengthen your reaction time.
DeleteI agree that reaction time is one of the more lethal skills you can have as an athlete but i do think you can train and make it better, not just something your born with.
DeleteI agree that reaction time is key part of sports. You need to be able to react to the events going on in the field of play.
DeleteAll of these videos made me realize how mental sports are. The Nike Strobe seems like it would help you tremendously because you have to focus on the task you're doing a lot more. It also made me realize how big of a difference the reaction time would be of a person with and without a concussion.
ReplyDeleteBobby
I also thought the Nike Strobe would help the most with what it does to your vision. I knew a concussion would effect the Board test, but didn't think it would be the great of an effect.
DeleteI totally agree that these videos helped me see just how much mentality is important in sports and the Nike Strobe was my favorite as well because I also think it makes you more focused.
DeleteI think these products would work very well to training reaction time. When your parts of your brain are used more often and worked harder, it grows more nerves, pathways, and connections in those parts. If you train your body to react to a specific stimuli, its going to get better at it. This also ties in with the concussion test using the D2 board because when your brain is injured then it wont work right and wont be able to send those signals as fast as they once did.
ReplyDeleteI think the nike strobe was a really cool way to strengthen your reaction time because it would make everything with the glasses off, easier. I think these inventions are a really good idea because its not something that has been around for very long and is not something that you hear people talk about training. The Dynavision Ispan was cool because it kind of mixed speed with reaction time and was also a workout. The Dynavision bored was probably the best one for peripheral vision and reaction time testing and is closely related to a lot of sports and ways to improve that reaction time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement about the dynavision ispan. It can help with your cardio and explosive starts. I also agree with the statement about dynavision board.
DeleteThe Nike Strobes lights could be a great use to athlete that have to keep there ¨eyes on on the ball" these glasses could help improve hand eye coronation, and also to know where the ball was at all times without really seeing it.
ReplyDeleteThe Dynavision board is a great form of training of reaction time and also sharping of the eye. I aslo think this could help someone who maybe be trying to strengthening the muscles in there eyes or doing PT. But the over all product seems cold and seems effective.
This Ispan product is one of my favorite, it looks like a cool exercise but this would turn up your reaction time having also to move side to side and turneing into the lights flashing. This is forcing you to move and think quick.
Over all theses product have what it takes to improve your reaction time, some focus on other motor skills along with reaction time. Some people are born with good reaction time but i think it can only be the best when you work on it.

ReplyDeleteI think the nike strobe is a nice practice tool. It will help you track the ball in football and also make the ball look bigger than it truly is. The dynavision board would also be a good tool to use in concussion recovery. Also it can help you with hand eye coordination and your peripheral vision. The dynavision Ispan is almost like a shuttle run and could help with developing quick reaction time. Reese Boehme
ReplyDeleteNice to be visiting your blog again, it has been months for me. Well this article that i've been waited for so long. I need this article to complete my assignment in the college, and it has same topic with your article. Thanks, great share. age of empires guide
