Reduction in reaction time and improved oculomotor function following football-specific vision training in young players
The field-based SVT protocol was associated with improvements in upper-limb VMRT and specific oculomotor functions in young footballers. While these findings suggest that sport-specific SVT may enhance key visual-motor skills relevant to football performance, the quasi-experimental design limits causal interpretations.
