  • The USWNT Return to Camp
    The USWNT Return to Camp Just last month the United States Women’s National Soccer Team held a ten-day-long training camp in Denver, Colorado. This was the first time the entire team had been together since the She Believes Cup in March of 2020. The new player roster consisted of 27 players, many being younger and newer faces. Coach Vlatko Andovoski said, “Getting the National Team back together brings us relief and excitement, and I’m thankful for all the work done behind the scenes to make this happen” Even with notable players like Rose Lavelle, Sam Mewis, Christen Press, and Tobin Heath not available for the camp as they were playing overseas in Europe’s Women League there was still buzz around the camp. Rose and Sam are both signed on for short- term contracts with Manchester City while Tobin and Christen are signed with Manchester United. Also missing from the usual list of call-ups were Carli Lloyd and Mallory Pugh, who are both currently undergoing recovery from injuries they sustained earlier this year. Megan Rapinoe, a very well known face and name for the team, opted out of the camp due to COVID concerns. Alex Morgan was also missing because of playing overseas and the birth of her daughter only six months ago. The camp focused on getting to know the new faces and getting back into the swing of team training; therefore, there were no international games during this camp. The roster created for the camp consisted of four goalkeepers, ten defenders, seven midfielders, and six forwards.

  • Vision Testing and Visual Training in Sport
    VISION TESTING AND VISUAL TRAINING IN SPORT by LUKE WILKINS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences College of Life and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines vision testing and visual training in sport. Through four related studies, the predictive ability of visual and perceptual tests was examined in a range of activities including driving and one-handed ball catching. The potential benefits of visual training methods were investigated (with particular emphasis on stroboscopic training), as well as the mechanisms that may underpin any changes. A key theme throughout the thesis was that of task representativeness; a concept by which it is believed the more a study design reflects the environment it is meant to predict, the more valid and reliable the results obtained are. Chapter one is a review of the literature highlighting the key areas which the thesis as a whole addresses. Chapter’s two to five include the studies undertaken in this thesis and follow the same format each time; an introduction to the relevant research, a methods section detailing the experimental procedure, a results section which statistically analysed the measures employed, and a discussion of the findings with reference to the existing literature.
