Strobe Training and Plasticity in Athletics
In conjunction with the Laboratory of Dr. Steven Mitroff, I am currently working on a Nike Inc., funded research project, investigating the effects of a yet-to-be-released training product of theirs on visual and attentional processing skills. Preliminary reports from athletes, trainers, and coaches are that this product may be an effective training tool to improve performance in athletic activities. In our research we are testing to determine what effects, this product has on cognitive and perceptual abilities. We are currently conducting experimental ‘testing’ and ‘training’ with club sports groups on the Duke University campus. Results from our initial testing indicates that training with this product significantly improves performance on several measures of visual cognition.

The Nike Strobe prototypes have been tested in the field by professional and collegiate athletes for several years now. The results have been overwhelmingly positive. Most athletes have not wanted to return the loaned prototypes!

Nike is now distributing the Strobes through Bernell Corporation---the largest Vision Therapy/Sports Vision company in the world! We have the Strobes in stock now and are taking orders online or by phone.

Sports Vision has been practiced for over twenty years. Promoted by the American Optometric Association and its Sports Vision Section, many optometrists are working to improve the performance of their patients on the field. Sports Vision looks at the special visual needs of the athlete in different sports.

The first step we recommend is a professional eye exam by a doctor who practices Sports Vision. You can call the office of local optometrists and ophthalmologists and ask if they specialize in Sports Vision. Or you can go online to the www.aoa.org/x5428.xml and click on your zip code and that the doctor is in the Sports Section of the AOA.
