18 female varsity soccer players, ages 19 to 23 years, were randomly assigned to either a training or a control group. Trained subjects were exposed to the 4-wk. Eyerobics visual skills training to assess the effects on balance and on hand-eye and foot-eye coordination. Analysis indicated significantly better performance on the balance, hand-eye and foot-eye coordination (Dribble Test) tasks than by the control group, but not on the foot-eye coordination Wall-Volley Test.
