I believe that the shades help an athlete become a lot better. They limit the athlete's eye sight and it trains their brain and eyes to do a correct scanning. Correct and quick scanning helps psychomotor ability. The shades help muscle memory because it trains the body to not always rely on sight but also on motions.
ReplyDeleteI think that this a very useful tool to have. After reading the website this seems like something that you make you have to focus on the object more, instead of seeing everything all the time you get little glimpse of the object. Which is really making you memorize and know where the throw or pass is going.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a great idea for athletes. It's good for athletes to train their vision along with their muscles and skills. I actually didn't even know athletes could use this kind of equipment to train on so I did actually learn something new by reading the article and watching the videos. I don't think this type of equipment would be useful to me because I'm not going to be an athlete or trainer of any sort but I'm sure it would be useful to coaches and personnel trainers.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the Nike Strobe tool is very useful for athletes because it trains them to predict what's going to happen before the action actually takes place. This would help athletes predict the trajectory of projectiles and the movements of other players. By limiting the players vision it makes the game without the shades that much easier.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I believe that these glasses would be a big help to any athlete trying to improve in their sport. It helps you work on improving your anticipation skills, and can help your muscle memory. The glasses also make you think more by taking away your vision, which builds neural pathways. I would love to try them and see how much of a difference they made firsthand. I think these glasses are a great tool and should be taken advantage of by anyone looking to improve their game.
ReplyDeleteThese goggles seem like a good tool to use to improve focus and psychomotor ability in general. I like that they use the idea of training in a harder environment than the one the athlete actually performs in. Something that concerns me though are the side effects that these glasses may have. I could see myself using this tool for softball to improve my focus while hitting and eventually make my swing faster and more accurate.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the shades could be very helpful in several sports. As a swimmer, the majority of my work is in the water. We don't have to catch anything, or worry about our surroundings except for the upcoming wall. I'm not sure how much the shades would help swimmers. We would have to use them out of water, unless a water proof pair came out that could be substituted for a pair of goggles.
ReplyDeleteI think the glasses could help an athlete train in their eye-hand coordination. The athlete has to train their brain to really focus in on the object and to rely more on their muscle memory rather than their eyesight.
ReplyDeleteI believe the Nike Strobe glasses can be useful to any athlete trying to improve their psychomotor skills. It allows athletes to predict and interpret what the next action will be. I used to play volleyball and these glasses would have helped a lot. I think they would have helped me be more accurate and precise when receiving serves or digging hits.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the strobe training glasses were pretty awesome! Any athlete could greatly benefit with this new technology because it helps so much with eye-hand coordination and reaction time in general. I know personally that with playing baseball and basketball, this action mixed with proper training would take an average athlete and change them into a superior athlete. The article that was read in class even mentioned how the amount of dropped passes for the specific receiver decreased by over 70 percent after the glasses were utilized. Overall I feel as though they are a great tool for anyone trying to improve their game.
ReplyDeleteI honesty believe that the strobe training glasses would be very useful in the hands of an athlete. The new advancement of technology would push individuals to the limit, forcing them to try tasks to the best of their ability, while partially blinded by the shade technology. I believe this, over time, would drastically improve an athlete's reaction time and ability in the particular task they were training to do. The shades train athletes to think fast, and efficiently, allowing their adaptive skills to improve as the athlete must react to situations rather fast. I, myself, do not play any sports that involve a ball of some sort, nor one that requires hand-eye coordination, so perhaps this technology may not be as useful for me. But, overall, I believe these shades are incredibly useful for those who wish to utilize them in the workings of their very own sports.
ReplyDeleteWith the dynavision, I believe this technology has the ability to help others greatly in many fields. Say you're suffering from a concussion, they have proof that this can help you recover faster and with ease. I also think its nice being able to find out how your scores are increasing and improving with time and practice. Now for the glasses I think there are many opportunities that these can help and I hope later more schools will be able to afford them and that they improve them to be used for other sports.
ReplyDeletePersonally the training glasses wouldn't help me because I don't play a sport at the school. But I do think that they would help a lot of athletes at this school and help hem improve to get better and move onto an advanced league. Like are football players could benefit from these because they could improve there muscle memory and there anticipation skills.
ReplyDeleteAs a person who has been through a concussion & had to go through the "eye therapy" I totally believe it would help athletes. The therapy helped me not get dizzy from running anymore, & I think for athletes, such as a receiver or a goalie, it would help enhance reflexes, reactions, & muscle memory. The goggles are an awesome tool for athletes & I think coaches should invest in them for their teams. As a runner, I don't really see these goggles helping me, but for soccer, football, tennis, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, most sports that need some kind of ball, will absolutely help athletes.
ReplyDeleteI believe that these glasses help athletes with anticipation skill,their hand eye coordination, muscle memory, etc. As a runner these glasses would not help me because I don't have anything that I have to react to quickly. If I played a sport that involves quick thinking and the ability to react in any situation I would definitely invest in them.
ReplyDeleteI think that these googles will be very useful for athletes who have trouble with anticipation, reflexes, processing and proproception. I think that athletes who lack in any or all of these components could improve themselves through the googles, and that they will become better athletes to those who use it. Also it could help further improve athletes who have all of those skills.
ReplyDeleteI think that the goggles would be very helpful for any athlete trying improve in their sport. I would be very curious and willing to see how they would help in volleyball practice. On the other hand since you have to focus on one thing at a time and in volleyball you focus on looking at more than one thing I don't know how that would work with the goggles. In the future I might consider using these for physical therapy for my patients. I think the goggles are very useful.
ReplyDeleteI think this could be very helpful for athletes, but only some sports. A baseball player would benefit more than a runner would. The only thing that could help with running would be focusing more on the gun going off so you can get a faster start. It is amazing the technology that is coming out to help with things such as sports
ReplyDeleteI believe these shades would be extremely helpful to an athlete because it forces athletes to take in limited information and act upon it, which is extremely helpful to improve reaction time, especially in something like ESL. Now, I probably wouldn't buy this equipment, as I'm not in a sport requiring fast RxNs, but if I wanted a competitive edge, there is absolutely no question and I would buy these to improve my reaction time.
ReplyDeleteI think these goggles are very useful because the athlete has to focus on other elements and rely on them, like perception and memory, and not only on sight. Although adapting to them might be difficult at the beginning, I believe they would help me improve in many aspects.
ReplyDeleteI think these glasses could be very helpful for several sports, just maybe not running. I think that having the ability to see all the time taken away would definitely help you use what information your brain is able to process, and would help people to make better decisions when all of their vision is back. I could see the Dynavision board being more universal in the sports it helps. It focuses not on what you don't have, but the ability to process information quickly and react properly.
ReplyDeleteThe Strobe goggles would be very beneficial for a lot of reasons. It will test athletes ability to obtain information within the time the goggles allow and it can increase the speed of their eyes while scanning the field or court. I think that as a former basketball player i think that this could help players with increasing their thought process on when to get rid of the ball or where to throw the ball to continue the play or to help find someone that is open faster.

ReplyDeleteI think the Strobe goggles would be highly effective and beneficial to athletes. Using these goggles would improve athletes performance all the way around and most of all sports that have a lot of hand-eye coordination involved. Sports like baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball, and football. In the video, the athletes who tried the goggles said that once they took them off, the task they had to do felt much easier and they watched the ball go to their hands the whole time to complete the catch/pass. I think the goggles would be super cool to try out!
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said. I think by training with these goggles, a players hand eye coordination could improve tremendously. I would like to try these out for myself and see if they actually work.
DeleteI also agree with the hand eye coordination slowing things down for athletes would help a lot especially for the faster sports. I want to try them and see if they would help me!
Deletei agree with you highly! A ton of sports have to deal with hand and eye coordination. So having them take these goggles to slow down reaction times for athletes is truly amazing.
DeleteI think these Nike vapor Strobe glasses would be very helpful with reaction time. By practicing with these glasses it allows you to really focus on the object. The players who used the glasses said that when they were playing and the glasses were off, the tennis balls looked like beach balls and they were very easy to catch. I believe reaction time is something you can train. By practicing something more and more, you will eventually become better at it and it will seem almost natural. As it becomes more natural you will be able to preform the task a lot faster.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with what Karsyn said. Since Karsyn plays volleyball, I think it would be cool to see her have the glasses on to see if her reaction time will improve. Also if it does make her reaction time improve what skills would the glasses be most helpful with?
DeleteI think the Nike strobe goggles are a good idea because it helps train the athletes vision.I think that the glasses could help in sports like football better that lets say running because they don't have a need as bad for them. I think that the slow motion effect that it gives would help athletes trying to get better at catching a ball of blocking a puck.I think that since it strain your mind so it can only get better I think it would hep tremendously. I would give them a shot and see if the strobe goggles helped me get better at catching a ball.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement about how the goggles will help football players have better catching abilities by slowing things down and actually having to watch the ball into your hands.
DeleteThese strobe training glasses seem to be a great thing for many athletes. These glasses may not be useful in all sports, such as running, but many athletes could find them very beneficial. Making the training more difficult by impairing the athletes vision causes the athlete to learn different ways to analyze the balls speed and rotation. When the athlete takes the glasses off, it makes the task seem easier like when a runner takes their ankle weights off and running becomes easier. I also think it is very cool that the shutter speed of the glasses can be changed to fit individual athletes and specific sports.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion,the strobe goggles created by Nike would be beneficial to athletes in many sports. With the technology of the goggles the reaction time for certain things will improve and be more accurate. By slowing down the speed and seeing balls for example, in ways your eyes cant would make better athletes. I think while practicing with the goggles on will make your reaction time better without the goggles on because your body and brain will just be used to it. Also by limiting the things athletes seem it allows them to focus on one thing, therefore improving reaction time. Also I think reaction time can be learned by practicing over and over again. But some of it can be genetics. Like some people are just born athletes.
ReplyDeleteFor most sports I think the Nike Strobe goggles are a tool to help comprehend things more accurately and have a better skill in certain situations. When being trained by allowing your eyes/mind to focus on an object it helps when not wearing the googles in games. Overall the googles are a great tool for hand eye coordination, I would definitely give them a shot to help me in volleyball.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the Nike strobe glasses help your performance in a event after you have trained with them. I also agree with the glasses help better in certain situations. I think trying them out would be a good idea.
DeleteI believe that these goggles will help enhance your reflexes and your hand eye coronation tremendously. This product has been used by many pro athletes and every response that they have received or I have read its been good. This product can help with many sports weather your pro, college,or high school.
ReplyDeleteI think that these goggles will be great for athletes! These glasses are suppose to slow down reaction time for athletes. And if you think about it, many of sports have to deal with hand and eye coordination. baseball, softball, basketball, etc. It can help a ton of people with this product, whether you're a high school kid or a pro.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sam. These googles will definitely help with slowing down your reaction time so you can really see what you need to improve on in the sport.
DeleteI personally think that these goggles would be helpful with focusing for athletes. You can practice various types of drills with the sport you're doing. Especially since you can adjust the amount of strobe on the googles. From my view of it, it would also help you with your feet coordination not only your hand-eye coordination. I would like to try these out because it would help a lot with my reaction time in softball.
