The goal of this research project will be to see if there is a change in an athlete’s ability to see in their peripheral visional field after participating in strenuous exercise. This will be performed by putting an athletic population through an aerobic high intensity exercise involving running and immediately after testing their individual abilities to see in the peripheral field. These results will be compared to the results of their peripheral vision testing when they were at rest before the test. The athletes will be tested at the max of their abilities, then, 80%, 65%, and 50% of their max ability. This will allow the ability to see if there is a difference in the athlete ability to see in their peripheral field at different levels of physical excretion.
The mark of physical excretion to decide what is strenuous exercise will be determined by having the participating athletes do a Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test. This is standardized fitness test to find out an

This will be done to test and see the effects on distance from the eye on the ability to see in the peripheral visional field. There will be two lights put at eye level around a circle. 0˚ will be to the direct right of the athlete. The two lights will be moved simultaneously on a scooter and the athlete will tell the research at which point they see the light and on what side. To find the degree that the athletes sees the light at a Jamar Plus+ Digital Goniometer will be used. Half of the athletes will be tested moving from front to back and the other half will be tested from back to front. This will allow the researchers to see if going in a certain order will have an effect on the athlete’s peripheral vision. The athlete will be tested to see if they can tell which side that the light will be shown and at what degree they see it
Through November 2013-May 2014, scientists collected 25 males (12 football players, 13 non-players) that participated in this experiment. Both of these groups conducted activities and drills through three different sprint starting positions (2-, 3-, and 4-point.) After all the tests, it was declared that the 4-point starting stance is the most risky for football players, due to the position of the head, and the player’s vision of the field being decreased. However, the 2 point stance is the safest due to the better head location which allows better field of vision when participating in football. It was also concluded that regardless of football experience, the results of all the stances remained the same regardless of football or non-football (Bonnechere et al, 2014).
This group will start the testing by attaining the medical records of the player to see if he is physically and physiologically capable to perform such strenuous activities. After that information is attained we will start by testing the player’s endurance with a two mile run and monitor the times, heart rate, Vo2 max, and try to evaluate the lactic threshold. Thereafter in the following days, we will attain the midfielder’s 1RM in all multiple joint lifts giving us a baseline for our percentages.
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate the 4 cranial nerves that are used for vision and eye movement based on their functions by performing several tests. With that being said, there are 12 cranial nerves in the body. The first cranial nerve is known as Olfactory Nerve I. This nerve is used for smell.
The Wingate Anaerobic Test is used to evaluate anaerobic cycling performance. This study was undertaken to determine whether there is a relationship between peak power and fatigue index for endurance (n=9) vs power (n=4) athletes. A total of 13 subjects, including 8 males and 5 females, were included in the study. The subjects were divided into sporting types, such as endurance and power. Data collected from the Wingate test included peak power (W), mean power (W), time to peak (S), minimum power (W) and fatigue index (%). When the peak power and fatigue index were considered together for endurance athletes, a significant relationship
Through the use of self-reporting systems, athlete trainers utilize several instruments to identify any present postconcussion signs and
John Paul Stevens served as associate justice of the Supreme Court from 1975 until his retirement in 2010. Throughout his judicial career, Stevens exercised a liberal view in the courtroom and often displayed judicial restraint to the United States Congress. Justice Stevens was appointed by President Ford in 1975 because of his judicial experience and personal confidence. While serving as Associate Justice, Stevens provided opinions on many subjects including the death penalty and affirmative action. Before serving as Justice of the Supreme Court, Stevens founded his own law firm and gained an expertise in anti- trust laws. Due to his successful legal career, Stevens was able to gain recognition allowing him to be nominated as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
July is Sunglass Awareness Month at Atlantis Vision Center. Seems like a great time to explore the history of the accessory that’s fashionable, functional, and fun to wear.

Here is a cool piece of trivia about your eyes. If you compare a senior citizen’s eyes and a baby’s eyes, there is probably something about the difference between them that you can’t quite put your finger on. The senior’s eyes will look older, but why?
Muscular endurance is being able to work a muscle or muscle group for a long period of time at less than maximum effort, (Amezdrox, G. Dickens, S, Hosford, G. and Davis, D. 2012). Muscular endurance was tested by completing a sit up and push up test. My rating for the sit up test were super and for the push up test my rating was excellent, (see appendix 1). These tests were chosen instead of others because if you have a strong core whilst playing touch football, it is seen that you can perform better and this is what these tests work on, (Touch Football Australia, 2013).
Figures C and D entails that there was a significant statistical difference in core body exercises, compared to lower body exercises and the baseline testing during the UNPST. There was also a significant decrease for the lower body exercises from baseline for the condition of eyes open for the UNPST due to the the UNPST favoring the core exercises over the lower body exercises. Moreover, a practicable interpretation of the results may have been generated due to the 10 second rest period between the each of the balancing tests and trials.There was only 1 trial for eyes open and eyes closed, while using the Biodex balance m-CTSIB. While there were 3 trials consisting of eyes open, and 3 trials of eyes closed during the UNPST.Being that the UNPST consisted of 3 consecutive trials, which allowed more time for the participant to regain and improve their balance. A vast amount of the participants struggled to maintain their balance during the UNPST eyes closed trials; which was to be expected. Without the control of visual, vestibular, and the somatosensory input, balance may have influenced a challenge for
If you have the power to help change your country, then why waste it voting for the wrong presidential candidate? Millions of Americans are starting to see the light and are choosing the right man to be our 44th president. These Americans are choosing the Republican, Mr. Donald Trump. If he is elected the next president, America will be back on top where it has always belonged.
Binoculars and Spotting Scopes are similar to operate however remain different. Both these devices are used to view distant objects. Binoculars are mainly used for military purposes. They have independent center focus making it effective in weatherproofing situations. A spotting scope is smaller in size and is like a portable telescope. They are used for night-vision hunting, surveillance and for many other applications that require magnification. Nonetheless, they both are designed differently and have unique properties.
The results of this test show that it provides a valid test to estimate aerobic capacity and shows there is a small measurement of error. A polar heart rate monitor was used to measure the heart rate with a step of 30cm in height with a metronome with a beat at 15 steps, per minute and increased by 5 steps every minute for 5 stages or until 80% of the maximum estimated heart rate was reached. The results demonstrated that the Chester Step technique is a valid predictor of aerobic capacity in males and females from a wide range of ages and fitness levels.
The fundamental purpose of fitness testing is an evaluation of an individual’s baseline physical fitness capabilities through a series of testing done for each health and fitness related components of an athlete, fitness testing is the starting point for the designing of fitness program for their specific sport to have desired goals to monitor their improvement and to identify the strength and weaknesses. Physical testing is having many benefits for athletes as it gives an inside of their individualistic abilities for their specific sport. Many of the benefits of fitness testing include;
