Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of stroboscopic visual training using Quatro glasses on cognitive abilities (reaction time, rapid decision-making, and visuospatial memory) in adult goalkeepers aged 20-40 years from Club Sportif Constantinois. An experimental pre-post test design compared an experimental group (n=5) using Quatro glasses (100 ms clear / 100 ms opaque) for 8 weeks (3 sessions per week, 45 minutes per session) with a control group (n=5) following standard training. Results demonstrated significant improvements in the experimental group: reaction time decreased from 350 ms to 285 ms (p=0.003), decision-making accuracy increased from 62% to 78% (p=0.021), and Corsi Block-Tapping score improved from 14 to 17/20 (p=0.015). No significant changes occurred in the control group. These findings validate the efficacy of stroboscopic training for cognitive enhancement in experienced adult athletes, supporting neuroplasticity principles and performance transfer to match conditions.
