The new Nike Vapor Strobe Eyewear is now offered at Athletic Republic Clifton Park.

Nike designated Athletic Republic to be an initial distributor of the Nike Vapor Strobes because of our performance sports training center’s proven capabilities for integrating sports science into training. In addition Athletic Republic helped designed the training protocols.  These strobe glasses strengthen the athletes’ eyes to see, think and do.

The Nike Strobes help athletes enhance their sensory and sensory-motor skills. When used with specific training drills, the Strobes reduce visual information that athletes use to make decisions about when and where to react, thereby forcing the wearer to become more efficient with the limited visual information provided.

Comments from athletes after they have trained in them:

“Everything seems to be in slow motion”           

“I can see the puck spinning now”  

“I don’t just see the ball, I see the threads on the ball”.

“That tennis ball looks like a beach ball”.

The Strobes are a powerful tool to force the player to keep his or her eyes on the ball. Nike and Athletic Republic developed Strobe training drills that are designed to improve the following skills:

Focus/Attention: Forces athletes to keep eyes “on the ball” throughout completion of the athletic task

Anticipation Timing: Accurate, precise timing of a specific response

Imagery/Visualization: Accurate tracking of an object in the mind’s eye

Reaction time: Improved ability to execute a task more quickly

Balance/Stability: Quicker responses to external stimuli

Peripheral Vision: Enhanced awareness and responsiveness to the athlete’s surroundings
