What is Sports Vision Training?

Sports vision training is a crucial aspect of athletic performance, enhancing an athlete’s visual skills for superior sports performance. At Human Integrated Performance, our sports vision training program is designed to optimize these skills, which are pivotal in competitive sports.

Our sports vision training exercises focus on improving dynamic visual acuity, depth perception, and other vital visual skills. These exercises are a part of our comprehensive sports vision training programs, which are tailored to meet the specific needs of each athlete. By honing these skills, athletes can significantly enhance their sports performance.

Dynamic visual acuity, for example, is essential in sports where tracking fast-moving objects is crucial. Similarly, depth perception plays a key role in accurately judging distances, which is vital in sports like basketball, soccer, or baseball. Our sports vision training program provides targeted exercises to sharpen these abilities.

The goal of our sports vision training at Human Integrated Performance is not just about improving visual acuity but also about enhancing overall athletic performance. By training the eyes to respond more effectively, athletes can react faster, make better decisions on the field, and gain a competitive edge.

Whether you’re a professional or aspiritng athlete, our sports vision training programs are designed to elevate your game to the next level.

Importance of Visual cognitive therapy

Visual cognitive therapy (visual CBT) is essential to athletic performance, but 20/20 vision doesn’t matter if an athlete is unable to track a ball, react in time, and track movement.

Poor athletic performance can often be attributed to a processing and response deficiency. When visual processing is not 100%, athletes may not see objects clearly, over or under-estimate distances, experience difficulty making plays, or repeat similar mistakes.

Visual Therapy Can Help Build:

  • Hand-eye coordination
  • Visual reaction time
  • Peripheral vision
  • Eye speed/tracking

Our Happy Humans

If you need acupuncture I highly recommend Troy. He was very thorough, understanding, and made sure first and foremost I was comfortable. He also explained why he was focusing on certain areas, and answered any questions I had. Reception staff were also very helpful and welcoming. A great experience overall!

Wally Ovalle
Consulted the humans at YEGHIP regarding some ongoing neck and head pain, tension, and clicking with certain motions. Booking was easy, staff at the door were pleasant, and the physiotherapist I saw (Jen) really knew her stuff.
Timothy Weber
I highly recommend Nicolas Allen and Michelle Hollik and the entire human integrated performance office. I love their team approach to health and wellness. Having a sports psychologist, physio, chiro, and massage therapist all under one roof is exactly what a 38 year old athlete that isn't ready to give up the dream needs!

Key Benefits of Sports Vision Training

Estimating Distances

Being able to gauge how close or how far you or another player is can be critical to ensuring that a play is executed successfully. With sports vision training athletes can improve their distance estimation to accurately assess the speed and distance of a ball or player.

Depth Perception

With improved depth perception, players can make better judgements in space, such as how far an object or player is from you.

Visual Reaction Time

Reacting to visual stimuli is a part of any sport. Sports vision training can help athletes improve their visual reaction time and visualization.

Better Peripheral Vision Awareness

Honing your peripheral vision awareness can help athletes react and respond faster. Peripheral awareness can help players detect motion, avoid injuries and collisions, and monitor opponents efficiently.

Tracking / Movement Precision

Timing is essential when making a play, and improved tracking and movement precision will help athletes hone their ability to know when to swing the bat, make a shot, throw a ball, etc.

Hand-Eye Coordination

By improving visual ability to direct movement, athletes can improve their accuracy with batting, throwing, pitching, kicking, and more.
