Concrete visual stimulus is assigned to concrete participant zone can be relevant with improved consciousness, thereby relevant with participant's teammate's improved decision-making.For example, visual stimulus may be selected to the accuracy of passing between the reinforcement teammate.In some exemplary embodiments, the visual stimulus of being arranged to peripheral vision is preferred.Can use the visual stimulus of various kinds.For central vision or peripheral vision, luminance contrast and target detail can be used to the visual stimulus that provides suitable.For central vision perception, can use color character (as tone or saturation degree).Proper perceptible heterochromia is relevant to the dominant wavelength difference between the 4nm with about 2nm usually, but depends on spectral regions.Also can use luminance difference, wherein, for or central vision or peripheral vision, the difference of 1-1.5% is discernable usually.For central vision, little details to about 1arcmin is clearly, and little details to about 0.5arcsec can be detected.For peripheral vision, little details to about 10arcmin is clearly, and little details to about 0.5arcsec can be detected.Or central vision or peripheral vision in, about 0.6arcmin or bigger angular separation allow target perceived as pinpoint target.Little target misalignment to about 3-5arcsec can be detected (" high quick eyesight ").Peripheral vision can detect the flicker of frequency up to about 80Hz-100Hz, and central vision can detect the flicker that frequency is lower than about 20Hz.In an embodiment, for central vision, be transverse movement, luminance contrast, color contrast and flicker from maximum responsive visual stimulus of arranging in order to minimum sensitivity.For peripheral vision, similarly be arranged as transverse movement, flicker, luminance contrast and color contrast.Sense of vision factor is normally separate, and can be dependent on observer's adaptability or observer's exposure under bright object recently.Visual stimulus is influenced by environmental aspect such as stadium lighting, smog or foggy weather or direct sunlight also may.Background such as meadow, stadium seat, spectator apparel also have influence.
Fig. 1 illustrates the visual stimulus management methods of exemplary.For selected activity, one group of activity or the selected situation in one or more activity, the distribution of identification common view angle in step 100.For example, the passer in football match can be identified with the common view angle that the biography receiver experiences.This distribution provides among the teammate when pass how much part is visible each other qualitative assessment.The identification at visual angle can be competed or exercise based on or more of the player group of using diverse player group or use particular technology level and experience.For example, for the professional athlete of inexperienced relatively young league matches sportsman and super league, common view angle may be different.Except routine pass, can select particular condition to be used for the identification of common view angle, and common view angle may be different because of the diverse location on the football field and different position of Player.Usually, common view angle is an activity-specific, and the observation of activity is used for determining the common view angle of activity-specific.
In an embodiment, observation is competed to be used for Pro Soccer at a plurality of " through-ball (the through ball) " of front court, football field one-tenth table arranged side by side.(through-ball is defined as penetrating defence and allows the attack forward that the pass of scoring opportunity is arranged).In this tabulation, through-ball is recorded as the function of passing angle (that is the angle with respect to passer's sight line in when pass), pass distances (from the passer to the distance of specifying the receiver) and receiver's body position.Analyze for convenience, passing angle is recorded as at 0-20 degree, 20-40 degree or in greater than 40 degree scopes.Pass distances is recorded in 0-5m, 5-10m, 10-15m and the 15-20m scope.Receiver's body position is recorded as front portion (towards the passer), sidepiece or back.In the match that observes, when pass distances increased, the passer tended to pass more through-ball to the receiver in wide positions (that is, with the more wide-angle from passer's sight line).When the receiver was in sidepiece towards passer's position, the through-ball of maximum quantity was spread out of.The through-ball of minimum number is passed to the athletic back of receiving.For less pass distances, less through-ball spreads out of with the pass angles of broad.
Fig. 2 has shown describing based on the common view angle of about 20 the football super league of observation.About 56% is to make when seeing the front portion 202 that passes the receiver in all forward passes.About 16% and 18% makes when seeing forward right side 204 and front left side 206 respectively.About 1% makes when seeing sportsman back 212, and 5% and 4% makes respectively when seeing right lateral side 208 and left rear side 210 respectively.For helpful in the most normal pass situation that runs into, visual processes can be applicable to the front portion and/or the sidepiece of athletes uniforms.For example, if want to improve pass, then can visually strengthen the corresponding front portion and/or the lateral region of athletes uniforms to player sides.
Although can write down the common visual field based on activity observation, and can or otherwise handle athletes uniforms by for example dyeing the visual stimulus relevant with these visuals field partly is provided, but extra consideration can improve the effect of handling athletes uniforms by this way.With reference to figure 3, for specific activities (football), body region 302,304,306 can be relevant with corresponding movement velocity and viewing distance.For example, watch body region 302 from distance quite far away usually, and the typical player motion relevant with this body region is slow relatively.In different activities, this feature of this body region described can a great difference.Because the use of most of arms is under an embargo in football, so the action of arm tends to be slow and tend to generally only provide the indication of sportsman's activity.Body region 304 is relevant with player motion quick, large scale with middle viewing distance.For example, can move excessive segment distance rapidly with near opponents' goal the sportsman of midfield dribbling.Body region 306 may be relevant with the quick acting of closely watching.In football, this regional particular importance is because pass is based on athletic action in this zone.The motion that the action of hand/arm is important or other activity may divide situation with zones of different and the zones of different feature is described relevant.Athletic adjacent body part can be relevant with zones of different.For example, athletic arm portion can based drive desired type be assigned to zones of different.
Describe based on body segment zones and feature, can movable effectively (activity-significant) part of selected body region be processed, so that the visual signature that strengthens visibility as regiospecificity (zone-specific) to be provided.With reference to figure 1, in step 104, body region and player functions are interrelated again.In step 106, the surperficial importance of estimating in the frequency that meets with based on for example aforesaid and surface, the activity or select to be used for the surface of visual processes by on this surface, handling possible interests that visual stimulus obtains.In step 108, handle the visual stimulus that provides by selected surface, to strengthen or otherwise to set the visual stimulus that produces by this surface.Under some situation, in step 110, carry out some extra tests to determine the enhancing of performance.
Can use weavy grain, color, gray scale, pattern decorative, surperficial reflectivity, fluorescence, flash of light and other surface characteristics that visually perceives to handle the visual stimulus that the surface provided by team uniform.In order to keep the outward appearance of traditional uniform, one or more color parameter such as tone, saturation degree can be set for the value relevant with the selected table face portion for example selected contrast is provided, and remain color parameter simultaneously and are chosen to make that uniform keeps traditional appearance.For example, dark relatively surface portion can be set for relative bright surface portion and form contrast, selects other color parameter according to traditional team colors, sign and design simultaneously.For being the visual stimulus of target with the peripheral vision, can use gray value, it can provide predetermined stimulation in institute's favored area, and traditional team colors or team appearance do not detract simultaneously.
In typical embodiment, but by visual stimulus being provided for institute's favored area with the single tablet of one or more heat-transfer matcrial of mosaic layout arrangement.Can use and have usually greater than about 1cm
2The high reflection tablet of area (tablet that for example has the chromium outward appearance), the while can be used and have about 2.5-3.0cm usually
