Stereopsis' Play on Baseball.
It is largely accepted that a superior binocular vision system is seen in collegiate and professional level athletes. Is their success based on innate above-average levels of depth perception, or are these high levels trained through years of playing sports? We sought to discover whether there is a...

Is their success based on innate above-average levels of depth perception, or are these high levels trained through years of playing sports? We sought to discover whether there is a correlation between stereopsis and batting average in young baseball players, 7-15 years old. Methods: The following study assessed the visual acuity, heterophoria, and stereopsis of children who participated in organized Little League baseball teams. Those values were compared to their batting averages. Results: Through the comparison of the patient data to their batting averages, we found that there was no correlation of the status of the binocular system and the batting averages. Conclusion: The athletes screened had normal visual acuity and stereopsis, regardless of how many years they had been playing. Other research has shown a superior visual system in professional and collegiate athletes, and from this research, it may begin in childhood athletics. In comparison to the average population, athletes have superior stereopsis, but there is not a correlation between success in the sport and the value of the athlete's stereopsis. Athletic success seems to be multifactorial. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
