This Training course will lead you through a four module series providing you with knowledge on prescribing, "basic training" that can be implemented tomorrow, advanced training, and neuro-cognitive training. We know that the key to training is knowing what is available, how to adapt to the sport/position, and how to challenge our athletes. Welcome to the next step on your way to making a significant impact.
One of the key parts of training is using equipment and products. Whether you utilize basic, but effective tools, or invest in state of the art opportunities; these options are discussed in these modules.
The first module will focus on prescribing considerations for athletes. This will include when to prescribe corrective eyewear, when to use vision enhancing eyewear, and the need for eye protection. Vision altering devices such as shields, visors, coatings, tints, and polarization will be reviewed. Each module should take approximately 60-90 minutes to complete.
The second module will walk you through the foundational training concepts in vision enhancement. The basics of eye movements, eye focusing,and object identification will be the first augmentable function to be explored. These fundamentals of vision can then be complicated by evolving from a stationary target to a moving target. Theoretical and functional interactions can then become endlessly complex.
The third module will focus on the connection between vision and physically reacting. Methods for training this connections will be reviewed and analysed. Isolated reactions and complex sport specific field of play exercises will be used to introduce concepts and discuss training techniques. This is where the integration of function and theoretical aspects of vision enhancement appear most obvious. This is also where the athlete feels the most natural connection to other types of musculoskeletal training they are used to.
Finally, the fourth module will concentrate on how your brain interprets what you see and how that can be enhanced. We will review well established training protocols and discuss cutting edge new technology and theories. Incorporation of vestibulo-ocular training will also be covered. You will see how neural-based vision training results in unique opportunities for interprofessional collaboration.
