INTRODUCTION:
Modern training seeks quick, effective training strategies to improve players skills. Sports vision training proved to enhance the efficiency and reaction time of the players performance by mainly enhancing the eye-brain coordination, perception, and visual processing of an athletes vision. The current study investigated the impact of a suggested training program using the Dynavision-D2 in improving the three-point shooting accuracy of the Yarmouk University basketball team.
METHODS:
Eight players the coach recommended were selected out of 15 team members, who took part in two weeks (3 sessions (30 minutes each)/week) Dynavision-D2 suggested a training program alongside their regular team practice schedule, but on different weekdays. The Dynavision-D2 suggested intervention took place during the general conditioning training session of the university basketball training and had no focus on game skills training. The Dynavision-D2 training program was developed using pre-programmed training and assessment of the Dynavision-D2 software and a specific developed by researchers tests that included the T-scope, reaction time, Endurance, Proactive mode A, and the Reactive mode B, with a total training time of 30 minutes for each session. The accuracy of the dynamic three-point shoot was assessed using the widely used “60s dynamic three-point shooting” assessment (test protocol (Pojskić et al.,2014)). Statistical analysis included comparing the average scored points, percentages, and a paired T-test evaluation.
RESULTS:
However, the suggested training programs effect was relatively small and non-statistically significant (p>0.05). The trained participants showed an improvement in their total scored points of the "60s dynamic three-point shooting" test; the average scored points on the pre-training were (6 points) and on the post-training were (8.6 points) as the average percentage accuracies improved from (15%) to (21.56%).
CONCLUSION:
In practice, the results of including short-term Dynavision-D2 intervention could be helpful in detecting talented basketball shooters in early team preparation. In addition, it can assess coaches advance their efficient training program focusing on overall development. Furthermore, it could help players handle fatigue and stay accurate during the games. Further research studies are advised for further evaluation of implementing Dynavision-D2 interventions in early sports training stages.
