Research shows high-performance vision training boosts batting statistics

University of Cincinnati, January 31, 2012 -- A new research study from the University of Cincinnati has determined that vision training, using a combination of traditional and technological methodologies to train the athlete's eyes, leads to improved batting performance.

Standard vision training exercises were implemented six weeks prior to the start of the 2011 baseball season.  The pre-season vision training was followed by a vision training maintenance program during the season.

Traditional methods included a Brock string, which uses a string and colored balls to condition the eye and lens muscles to quickly make adjustments, while the hi-tech methods included a light board, which tests and improves visual motor skills by using small board-mounted target buttons that light up randomly. The user is presented with a stimulus and has to locate the light and strike it with the hand as quickly as possible.
