The Comparison of Selected Visual Skills of Elite Athletes in Rocket and non- Rocket Sports

Of this study was to compare the visual skills of the elite athletes in the field of rocket and rocket. This study includes all athletes and sports teams Khorasan Razavi (1392) in the field of rocket (table tennis, badminton, tennis and squash) and non-rocket disciplines (football, handball, basketball and volleyball), respectively. Elite athletes in all of the sampling method (n=99). This study was causal-comparative. To collect the data, visual variables, static visual acuity, depth perception, NPC, NPA, contrast sensitivity and awareness surrounding Central was measured by the test. Laboratory measurements of Optometry School of Allied Medical Sciences, Mashhad. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test hypotheses of statistical methods and independent t-test was used. Data analysis using software 19spss and excel at the significant level p <0.05)) was performed. The results showed that the mean scores of the components of depth perception, peripheral vision and central visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and convergence there is a significant difference in the groups. So that athletes and non-athletes rocket to rocket higher performance scores were higher. The results of the study indicated that the performance of the rocket athletes than non-athletes, it can be concluded rocket rocket group performance by both genetics and the factors related to exercise or sport, they are. The results of this study can be expressed employment practice in sports that require good run at optimal performance on the visual component is can lead to performance improvement in vision.
