Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of sports vision training on baseball player's visual performance and baseball records. Methods: All subjects were 21 males of high school baseball players, and they participated on eight weeks of sports vision training program. Pre- and post- test results were obtained for static and dynamic visual acuity, static and dynamic stereo acuity, distance and near phoria, fusional reserves, near point of convergence, contrast sensitivity, visual-reaction time. Results: Statical analysis indicated significant improvement in most of mentioned visual variables and baseball records (p<0.001). Conclusions: It can be concluded that the sports vision training program improves visual skills of baseball players, which could lead to improvement in the baseball records. Vison training will be a promotor for baseball player to enhance their performance if proper test instruments and training course is supplied.

목적: 본 연구는 스포츠비젼 트레이닝의 효과를 검증하고, 그 결과가 야구성적에 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 하였다. 또한, 스포츠에 있어서 시력의 중요성을 인식시키고, 스포츠비 젼 트레이닝에 대한 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 방법: D 고등학교 야구부 선수 21명을 대상으로 원근거리 시위량과 융합 여력, 폭주 근점, 정지 시력과 동체 시력, 정적 입체시와 동적 입체시, 대비감도, 시각-반응 시간을 평가한 후 8주 동안의 스포츠비젼 트레이닝을 실시하고 그 변화량을 측정하였다. 결과: 스포츠비젼 트레이닝 이후 시기능이 향상되었고, 타율 또한 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 스포츠비젼 트레이닝의 원리를 다양한 스포츠에 적용하고, 보다 체계적인 검사장비와 훈련방법이 정비된다면 선수들의 스포츠 수행능력 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있는 보조수단으로 사용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
