PERIPHERAL VISION EDUCATION SYSTEM IN SPORTS PRACTICE

D E S C R I P C I Ó N

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an peripheral vision educator system in sports practice, specifically intended to educate vision control during the practice of sports in which a ball is controlled with the foot, such as football, in order to constitute a means of training or training to allow the player to control peripheral vision in order to be more attentive to what is happening around it, avoiding focusing the view on the control of the ball.

The object of the invention is to provide a means for its use by soccer players and the like, which prevents them from seeing their feet and the ball control area on the ground, and thereby causing them to focus their eyes on the control of the corresponding environment while carrying the driven ball, by making it useless to direct the gaze towards the feet.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In soccer, when driving or controlling the ball with your feet, you tend to focus your eyes on the ball, which causes you to lose attention to what is happening in the periphery or surroundings, that is, to rival players or to the teammates who may be close to it, which obviously entails a difficulty in the perception of team tactics and poor execution in the decision to carry out tactical aspects, such as offensive or defensive maneuvers, etc.

It is unknown on the part of the inventor to the existence of devices that allow to reduce or avoid this limiting reflex tendency.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Solves the problem described above fully satisfactorily.

For this, the system is based on getting an education in the control of vision during the sports practice of a football player, so that preventing the vision of the feet by the player is achieved that he focuses his vision on the environment of play, significantly improving the ability to respond both offensively and defensively.

For this, the system of the invention is embodied in a screen-like element that is located in the hip area or in the upper part of the trunk or chest, and that prevents the vision of the feet by the player, in order to control the ball without having to look at it, in order to get used to carry out such control while visually controlling the player's own environment.

In short, it is a system through which the player cannot see his feet, so he is obliged to receive the ball, run, haggle, pass and / or kick without looking at his feet at any time, which with the practice will improve your technique and control, in addition to focusing your attention on the observation of other details, such as the situation of oneself with respect to the rest of the players or elements of the playing field, such as demarcation lines, limits of the terrain, areas, goals, etc.

The screen on which the system materializes will be made of a light, flexible and soft material to prevent the player from being damaged in the event of a fall, crashes, etc., as well as damage to other partners, for which said screen , if it were located on the hip, it would have a certain thickness so that it can remain horizontal and constitute the means that makes vision of the feet impossible, which may have a semiannular, half-moon, spherical, rectangular shape, etc., or even extend along the sides towards the back of the player's waist, and in any case have fastening and adjustment means, such as velcro straps, fastening means, straps, knotting means or simple elastic straps, etc., to keep the screen in its operative position adapted to the body size of each player.

If placed in the upper part of the trunk, chest or surroundings, a cloth material will be preferred as an extension or accessory of the sportswear.

Obviously, so that the screen does not interfere with training or limit other actions of the game, it must have minimum levels of weight and stiffness, hence the materials in which it is constituted will preferably be materials such as foam and the like, provided they are Light, soft and flexible, without discarding any other textile material, rubber, inflatable character, and ultimately any material that maintains such stiffness to fulfill its function and at the same time meets the safety and comfort requirements set forth above, not being harmful by contact

The location of the screen on the waist area or, where appropriate, on the player's chest is considered the most optimal, since it has a low incidence on the normal action of the player, although it could be available at other heights without affecting it The essence of the invention.

Thus, an educational element of the game vision is achieved due to its limiting effect, since by having the vision on the aforementioned foot area prevented, the player will be forced to focus his vision to other areas of the game environment, which It will have a better capacity for success and reaction in the game, as well as an understanding of tactical aspects, such as technical improvement, anticipation of game situations, control of the movements of other players, etc.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will then be made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figure 2.- It shows a view similar to that of the previous figure, in which some arrows indicative of the peripheral vision to which the player is forced are represented, as well as the impossibility of vision of the feet.

Figure 3.- Shows a schematic plan view of an embodiment of the screen, in this case in the form of a crescent that extends at its ends and backwards in the corresponding fixing means to the player's waist.

Figure 4.- Shows a schematic representation in plan of an alternative embodiment of the screen, in this case intended to be fixed by flexible strips with fastening means.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be seen how the peripheral vision educator system during sports practice in soccer players is constituted from a screen (1), destined to be preferably held on the waist of the corresponding player (2) , as shown in figures 1 and 2, a screen (1) of an opaque nature, in a manner that in said horizontal arrangement on the player's waist prevents vision (5 ') of the feet (3) and the ball (4) when This is being received, controlled or conducted by the player, in order that it focuses its vision on the periphery (5) or environment, as shown in Figure 2.

Said screen (1), will be constituted in a light, flexible and soft material, and may have a configuration as seen in figures 1 and 2, in the form of a half moon that is located in front of the waist of the player (2) , or have a shape as shown in Figure 3, where the screen (1 ') has lateral extensions (1' ') finished off in the corresponding fastener means (6).

Figure 4 shows a variant embodiment in which the screen (1 '') has a different configuration, in this case rectangular rounded ends, which will also be located in front of the player's body (2) and will have nail

ribbons or elastic elements (7) finished off in the corresponding fastening means (8) at their ends to be fixed tightly in order that the device does not move during the course of the game / training.

In another embodiment of the invention, the screen (1) can be positioned at the player's chest, as an accessory (9) or integrated element or added to the shirt or sportswear that covers the player's torso, made of fabric or similar, this being an alternative solution to the preferred waist, it is not necessary that both elements be used simultaneously.
