Optimizing Visual Performance for Sport

In the world of sports, pursuit of optimal performance is pervasive. Most of the focus is on development of requisite physical abilities, such as strength, speed, agility, and endurance. The other major focus is on skill development for specific sport applications, often requiring significant repetition with feedback about optimal biomechanics. Depending on the sport, athletes also may work on the psychological issues that can impede or enhance performance. The role of visual performance factors in sports has received a fair amount of attention over the years; however, many athletes still have limited access to evaluation and enhancement approaches.
