Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Stroboscopic Training GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Treatment group, which will receive stroboscopic training during hitting and fielding drills. The glasses look like sunglasses but have liquid crystal technology that causes a flicker from clear to opaque. The glasses flickering will be controlled on the side of the glasses by the researcher. When the athlete can complete a skill proficiently by catching or hitting during training the level of flickering will be increased to challenge the visual system more.
Group II: Standard softball drillsActive Control1 Intervention
Control group, which will perform normal hitting and fielding drills without stroboscopic training
