Request Info on Sports Vison or Visual Skills in UWH

Hi!

I'm doing a post graduate degree in sports vision through the University of Johannesburg (RSA). I love underwater hockey and have been playing on and off since 1999. Therefore I have decided to focus my research and assignments on underwater hockey in specific.

I would like to know whether there has been any research done or information gathered on any of the following topics within underwater hockey?
Visual skills, Visual skills development, Visual performance or Vusial performance enhancement.

I would greatly appreciate any communication on the above mentioned respects.
Thank you kindly!
Estelle Bruwer

Do the vests count as visual enhancement, cause they look great on us 'larger' players.

u might have to elaborate with some definitions for "visual skills" to get many replies? what on earth is a visual skill? looking around?

whats an example in another sport?

I think she means by fisical skills movies or photos from skills.
But there are already some on this forum by the sub-forum skills en technique.and even by tactics.
One thing is not be told about here. but in the futher i will do so.
and that is trainings pratices to learn skills.

Otherwise she must send a PM then i can sent her al those already placed movies from skkills and photos (or links) to her.

But if i understand visual skills wrong i hope she tells us how and what she means and hope that we can help her with geting the information she need.

That sounds like a really interesting topic.

Good luck with the research Estelle.

Estelle,

I strongly recommend that you talk to Jimmy Herbert.. he is working at the University of Stellenbosch and has done various studies over the years on different aspects of uwh. Haven't seen them all, so can't comment on visual aspects, but he could be an excellent source of material.

If you need his contact details, send me a PM and I will get you in touch with him.
