Do you think that this type of training would help you? Why or why not? Could you also do auditory training?
ReplyDeleteI Think this training would help because its allowing you to think faster and gain that muscle memory. I Believe you could do auditory training if you have something that beeps and you have to go into a certain direction or press a button every time you here a certain noise.
DeleteI do not think that intensive training with any of these would help because I only pole vault and the only thing that I would use the strobes for is my approach, everything else is muscle memory.
DeleteI think this type of training would definitely help me because as a tennis player, you need to have good peripheral vision and quick reaction times in order to be a good player. Auditory training would also be effective, but I think the vision training would help me more.
DeleteI think this type of training would help me because I need good peripheral vision and I need good reaction time. I dont need auditory training since I'm on defense so I just have to watch the ball.
DeleteI think this training would help anyone. My reaction to light is slower than sound since I process sound faster. I feel training this could balance out my skills and improve my brain processing light.
DeleteReaction time definitely comes with time and practice the longer you have been doing something that involves it the quicker you will be at it
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of the Nike strobe glasses because it allows you to make moves even when you can't see so when you take them off it will be easier for you to react and make quicker decisions.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this because its going to make athletes better and make watching and playing the sport so much better
DeleteI agree with this training because its helping an athlete no matter what. The strobe glasses seemed to work really well because after they took off the glasses they said that the tennis ball looked like a beach ball and obviously a beach ball is easier to catch. I also liked the peripheral vision one because the more you would train it the better you will do.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I believe that even your peripheral vision needs to be strengthened to be good at sports.
DeleteReaction time definitely comes with time and practice the longer you have been doing something that involves it the quicker you will be at it
ReplyDeleteI agree that reaction times come with practice because if you work on it everyday you will get better
DeleteI think reaction time can be improved with some of those machines they used. I feel that training will get you farther than genetics because you can work on it every single day. The product that I thought was the dynavison board because it makes you look around and react quickly.
ReplyDeleteI agree the Dynavision board could be a good tool. Also having to call out the numbers from the center and still focus on the lights.
DeleteI strongly agree with what you have here I do believe genetics may play a smaller role in it compared to hard work and practice

I think that the strobe glasses would help significantly with your visual processing times. TO me it makes complete sense that you can train your mind as you can train your body. The other tow training methods would help, but not nearly as much as the strobe glasses. I think auditory training would help as well, as long as your sport requires quick sound reactions.
ReplyDeleteCould you look up and see if there is any auditory training for track or cc and share the link?
DeleteI couldn't find anything specifically for running sports. However I did find auditory training for swimmers which is virtually the same as sprinters as they both have to react quick to a gun. A study was run to see if electric horn start times for swimmers would get lower the more they trained, and studies showed that the swimmers that trained for a month improved noticeably.
Deletethe reaction time can be improved in by just working at it and practicing more
ReplyDelete-terry
DeleteI think reaction time a is very important skill to have, especially if you play a sport. In order to improve your reaction time, you need to train. Some of the makeup of your reaction time is genetic, but I think it can definitely be trained. The Nike Strobe glasses are super cool and would be a cool tool to train your reaction time. The Dynavision board and span systems are amazing and would also be very good for training peripheral vision and reaction time.
ReplyDeleteI agree that some of your ability is genetic but that you can improve and become a better athlete with training with the use of the Nike strobe and Dynavision systems.
Delete-Emily Babb
DeleteI agree that reaction time is a very important skill to have and training is needed to improve them. The Dynavision board is one example of how you can improve your eye-hand coordination.
DeleteI think reaction time is mainly training because you need to build up your muscle memory. However, genetics do play a role, such as with your eyesight and hearing. Training is a big part of reaction time, hence the videos we just watched. Those machines help train athletes to strengthen their coordination and reactions. I believe that this could help me with my reaction time and yes you could also do an auditory one.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about how it is a lot of training because you can't control whether you have good eyesight and hearing or not.
Deletedont forget that reflexes and insticts play a role in reaction time
DeleteJoshua Fellman
I think some people are born with better reaction time than others through genetics. I also believe the strobe glasses and other forms of training can improve your reaction time but might take long hours of practice.
ReplyDeleteAnthony Pisanti
DeleteWhat about doing this in offseason training?
DeleteI agree with your comment about how using the glasses will take long hours of practice to improve anything, I think that if you are a pro athlete that will play this game for years to come, then the glasses will be more effective
DeleteOffseason training would be a perfect use for these goggles. They are very low profile and can be used in pretty much any situation. This could perfect your skills while in the offseason.
DeleteThis type of training would help an athlete improve. For instance, the Nike strobe glasses help athletes pay more attention and focus more on that they are doing, to catch, throw, and more. Also, the Dynavision span and board help athletes with the peripheral vision. The use of this type of training would be beneficial to athletes. I think you could do some type of auditory training to help with reactions.
ReplyDelete-Emily Babb
DeleteI agree with what you said about the Nike glasses because the athletes would focus more on what needs to be accomplished.
DeleteI agree, because I think that athletes become better with more training and practice. Also, I agree that the Nike strobe would help athletes improve their visual skills, coordination, and reflexes because it helps them to focus.
DeleteI think that reaction time plays a major role in sports. The better reaction time you have the stronger chance you have of completing the task better or quicker. Training it helps because you can always improve yourself and with new products coming out there are more ways you can train it.
ReplyDeleteWhich one of these do you think would help the most for LAX? What about cheerleading?
DeleteI don't think these would be helpful for cheer because reaction time in cheer isn't very important. You dont have to catch anything and all you're using is muscle memory for the form of your tumbling and remembering the motions.
DeleteIt would help a lot for lacrosse because while using the goggles for practice will limit the eyesight which when they are removed will increase your reaction time which is needed for catching and passing and making quick decisions.
DeleteI think the Nike Strobe glasses and the dynavision are good tools for athletes to use. When athletes used the Nike Strobe glasses they said basic tasks like catching a tennis ball seemed easier once they took the glasses off. When their vision was partially taken away, having it back could improve their basic abilities. The Dynavision could also help athletes with their peripheral vison and learning how to trust it.
ReplyDeleteJessica Rawski
DeleteI like the Dynavision because it really lets you see how well your peripheral vision is. Also it will help you see movement better as you keep using it because your eyes will become used to seeing such a small movement in the corners of your eyes.
ReplyDelete-Cage
DeleteI also agree that the dynavision would improve seeing little movements and can help in many different sports. Do you think Dynavision could help you improve as a linebacker?
DeleteI think that the peripheral vision board would help in training a lot. Not only does it test peripheral vision but it also helps train reaction time, two things that are very helpful for football players.
ReplyDeleteWhat other sports would this help with?
DeleteI think the peripheral vision board would probably be the best of all the training, especially for me because my peripheral vision is not that good.
DeleteI think that this type of training would not be good for me because I'm pretty much blind in my right eye so it's already like a got a strobe on one of my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI think that the Nike Strobe glasses would be difficult to train with at first, however, it would be effective in improving your hand-eye coordination by taking away some of your vision. The Dynavision board as well as the Dynavision ISpan would be two good methods of practice to try and better not only your reaction time, but also your peripheral vision. If I were to use any of these products I would choose the Nike Strobe glasses because I think that it would be beneficial to use for any sort of softball drills.

ReplyDeleteYes, this type of training would be helpful because it would improve your reaction time. Peripheral vision training would also significantly help an athlete to be aware of whats is going on around them.
ReplyDelete- Clare
DeleteI agree that training is helpful because that is how you can get better and improve.
DeleteDoing enough training could help improve your reaction time like how an athlete uses the lights for soccer practice which can help him learn to get around and react faster.
ReplyDelete-Makayla Wells
DeleteI think that anyone can be trained to have good psychomotor ability skills. For example, with the Dynavision board, people can train not only their peripheral vision skills, but they can also train to develop fast reflexes and quick reaction time. The more you practice, the better your skills will eventually become. I think athletes become successful through training moreso than genetics, because those that put in the time and repeat certain exercises will develop the necessary skills like muscle memory, decision making, and hand-eye coordination.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you mostly except that in terms of practice I believe their is al imit to how great your skills can become.

Vision training by Joshua Fellman
ReplyDeleteI believe that reaction time is one of if not the most important tool within a athletes arsenal.Geneitics matter hugely but arent the end all and be all.Training is one thing that matters more than genetics is most cases.Finally ,all the products were cool but the nike vapor glasses in my opion were the best, becasue it stresses your system easily which causes changes fast for the better in terms of reaction time ando ther components of fittness.
I agree that reaction time is one of the most important tools athletes have at their disposal. And without training, I feel an athlete with training will do much better than just one with just a genetic reaction time.
Delete-Ian Kolar
I think the Nike Vapor Strobes are a really cool idea, I found it interesting that they could use technology to take away information from athletes to make them rely on muscle memory more, so as to make them more efficient. I also believe that reaction time isn't mostly about genetics, I feel like training and hard work will cause significantly better speeds.
ReplyDelete^Ian Kolar
DeleteI think that the Nike glasses would be the most effective compared to the other products. The glasses would help athletes by improving their reaction time and their decision making because of the strobe light.
ReplyDeleteI think reaction time is different between all athletes in different sports. Training these abilities are not easy but with time they can be mastered. Like a football player could have better eye-hand coordination than a tennis player, but it could also be the other way around. It all depends on the position you play and how much you use your senses in those positions. For example, the Dynavision board helped athletes improve their eye-hand coordination by pressing red lights that appeared in small white squares while looking straight at a blue square.
ReplyDeleteVery good thought about about the position an athlete plays might have something to do with senses and reactions
DeleteI really liked the Nike strobe glasses because they said that it was easier to catch the ball because it appeared to look bigger.
ReplyDeleteWhat type of sports would the Nike strobe glasses benefit you in training?
Delete-Clare
DeleteWhy might the strobe glasses not be good for everyone?
ReplyDeleteFrom the strobe lights people could potentially have seizures.
DeleteThe strobe glasses might not be good for everyone because some people don't play sports that require fast reaction times and some don't play sports at all.
DeleteBecause some people might have epilepsy and could cause a seizure.
DeleteThey might not be good for everyone because of the sport that they play in. The glasses might not have the same benefits for all sports that people participate in.
DeleteThe Nike Strobe glasses might not be a good training tool for everyone because it could be the type of sport they play or because they don't have that good of hand-eye cordnation yet and taking away part of your vision with the glasses it could make training even harder for you to learn and train.
Delete-Emily Babb
If someone who has less than normal 20/20 vision skills tried to use them then it would take away more of their vision, which would not be effective. In fact, it would probably be dangerous to use them for training so they could just use one of the other practicing tools, such as the Dynavision ISpan.
DeleteSome people are more prone to seizures than others.
DeleteThey could induce seizures in any epileptic athlete.
Delete-Ian Kolar
Some atheletes could be epiletic or it would be useless if they do not play a sprt that has hand-eye coordination.
DeleteSome people may not need hand-eye cordination training and more basic training so training something they already have wont help what they don't.
DeleteBecause athletes that have epilepsy wouldn't have a fun time training with them.
ReplyDeleteHow much do you think genetics plays a role in being a good athlete? Put in terms of percentage. For example 50% - genetics 50% training
ReplyDelete75% training, 25% genetics
Delete35% genetics, 65% training
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI think it is 60% training and 40% genetics.
DeleteI think its 50/50 because you can get the genetics but also train on it more and more to be even better.-Makayla Wells
Delete70% training 30% genetics

65% training and 35% genetics.

65% training, 35% genetics
DeleteGenetics play a big role in building an athletic body but if you don't train it right and don't put the work in you'll end up nowhere. I believe its about 40% genetics and 60% training.
DeleteIt really depends on how good your genetics are and how much you train but if you put effort into training and have good genetics, I would say it's about 25% genetics and 75% training.
Delete40% genetics 60% training
DeleteI Think genetics plays a big role because say you have a hand deficiency you cant tumble or it would make it hard to. I believe that it is 35% Genetics and 65% Training
DeleteGenetics- 30%
DeleteTraining- 70%
60% Training 40% Genetics
Delete60% Genetics 40% Training
Deletegenetics-30%
Deletetraining 70%
I think it could be anything, genetics could play a huge roll at the sport you play or could play 0 roll, I think overall training is 80% because no one can just be amazing without practice or some type of knowlege on what they're doing.
DeleteSomeone could have a seizure.
ReplyDeletejoshua fellman
80 percent training, and 20 percent genetic
ReplyDeleteI think the Nike glasses are a great way to increase hand-eye cordiantion and also a great way to increase awarness. When an athelete takes them off after using them to practice it will almost seem like they got a whole new skill, being able to use there vision the whole time a ball is moving at them. The Dynavision is great to strengthen peripheral vision by having to move back and fourth, left and right being able to only use your peripheral vision. The light flashing will almost make it pop more so you get used to seeing something coming at you out of the corner of your eye like a defender or a ball.
ReplyDeleteBeau Kaminski
85% training 15% Genetics

I would say 20% genetics and 80% training. 20% genetics because of eyesight,hearing, and body build. 80% training because anyone can improve at something if they keep doing it.
