Visual Performance
Conditions
Brief summary
The proposed protocol is going to study the importance of wide spread of visual functions defined by but not limited to visual perception, visual function, visual exploration, involved in the performance of beach tennis. The investigators intend to examine the basic and important visual function that are required for the better performance in the field. The aim is to assess the efficacy of general training that uses the visual channel as the main one. The investigators suspects the improvement in the visual and motor skills after a predefined 8 weeks of visual training.
