Thus, unless otherwise defined, all terminology and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. In case of conflict, this specification takes precedence. As used herein, "about" means ± 10% of the value shown.

It is understood that the embodiments provided below are provided for a better understanding of the invention and the scope of the invention should not be limited to the following description. Therefore, it is clear that a person skilled in the art can appropriately make modifications within the scope of the present invention in consideration of the description in the present specification. It is also understood that the following embodiments of the present invention may be used alone or in combination.

(Training method)
In one aspect, the invention is a method of training a subject, wherein the method comprises (A) blocking the view of at least one eye of the subject with a visual field shield worn by the subject, and (B) the subject. Provided are methods that include a step of training the subject in a first manner, with the subject's field of view obstructed. According to the training method of the present invention, it is possible to improve the cognitive ability of external information by blocking the field of view of one eye and limiting the external information obtained from the visual sense. In addition, it is possible to improve the sense of balance and the trunk by performing training with the field of vision of one eye blocked. The amount of information obtained from vision is said to be 80 to 90% of the total. This is based on the premise that both eyes are used, and the information obtained by using both eyes is integrated in the brain, but in sports competition, this is required to be quickly reflected in physical exercise. The training of the present invention requires information gathering with one eye, which means that 80% or more of the information needs to be recognized and processed from only one eye. Under such circumstances, it is expected that the information processing speed will be improved by performing training that requires the same reaction speed as that of both eyes. In addition, when the field of vision of one eye is blocked, a state in which the visual field is restricted, a state in which it is difficult to grasp a sense of distance, a state in which it is difficult to balance, and a feeling of anxiety due to these states occur. Under such circumstances, habits that do not move well (shoulders and hips are strengthened, etc.) are very likely to appear (pattern appearance). By noticing it and improving it, the movement will improve when both eyes are in a state. By repeatedly experiencing this, improvement of self-correction ability can be expected.

In some embodiments, the training method of the present invention may further include a step of initial training the subject without obstructing the field of view prior to step (A).

In some embodiments, the training method of the present invention is directed to (C) the step of restoring the field of vision of one eye blocked in step (A) and (D) the subject in a state where the field of vision is not blocked. It may further include 2 training steps.

In some embodiments, the training method of the present invention comprises (E) a step of blocking the field of vision of one eye other than the one blocked in step (A), and (F) another of the subject by the shield. It may further include a step of training the subject in a third manner while blocking the view of one eye.

The one eye blocked in step (A) may be the right eye or the left eye. In certain embodiments, the one eye blocked in step (A) can be the dominant eye. By blocking the dominant eye, it is possible and preferable to enhance the cognitive function of the non-dominant eye, which is not normally used predominantly. The dominant eye (also called the dominant eye) can be easily determined by the so-called perforation method, pointing method (Rosenbach method), or the like. The perforation method makes the target visible in the hole in the card, etc. under binocular vision, and if the target is visible in the hole the next time you look at it with one eye, look at that one eye. It is a method of determining as the dominant eye. The pointing method is when one finger of one hand is raised and focused on a distant target so that it overlaps with the finger, and then the position of the finger does not move when viewed with one eye while focusing on the target. , It is a method of determining that one eye as the dominant eye. At the start of training, the training of the present invention may be carried out in a state of being blocked from the field of vision of the non-dominant eye, and after getting used to the training of the dominant eye, the training in a state of blocking the non-dominant eye may be carried out.

In some embodiments, the initial training, the first training, the second training, and the third training include any training that involves physical exercise. The physical movement can be a physical movement in which the subject moves in response to information obtained from the outside, and may include, for example, a physical movement in which the subject moves in response to the target. In some embodiments, the target may be a moving target or a stationary target. Physical movements in which the subject moves in response to the target can be accompanied by eye movements, and can enhance cognitive ability and information processing ability more efficiently. In some embodiments, the target may be a moving or stationary person.

The moving target includes, but is not limited to, ball games, such as soccer balls, baseball balls, soft balls, basketballs, handballs, rugby balls, ping-pong balls, tennis balls, volleyballs, and golf balls. Training that includes physical exercise in which the subject moves in response to a moving target includes soccer lifting, dribbling, shooting, baseball and softball catch balls, batting, bunts, tennis, table tennis, volleyball and other rallies, serves, and judo. , Kendo, boxing, fencing, etc., but not limited to these.

Stationary targets include, but are not limited to, poles, markers, cones, installed ball for competition, people, and the like. Training that includes physical exercise in which the subject moves in response to a stationary target includes training in which poles, markers, cones, people, etc. (one or more) are installed to perform footwork and turn drills, and installed balls. Training to touch the ball, training to grasp and carry the installed ball, hitting the installed ball (golf, batting, etc.), etc. can be mentioned.

In some embodiments, the initial training, the first training, the second training, and the third training may include training with athletic equipment. Examples of the competition equipment include, but are not limited to, bats, rackets, golf drivers, and the like.

In some embodiments, the initial training, the first training, the second training, and the third training may include training that requires balance. Training that requires balance includes, but is not limited to, training that involves standing on one leg, jumping or rotating on one leg, and training using an instrument such as a balance ball.

In some embodiments, the initial training, the first training, the second training, and the third training may be training performed by a plurality of people.

The initial training, the first training, the second training, and the third training may be the same training or different trainings. In some embodiments, the first training, the second training, and the third training load the same training, such as movements such as rotation or jumping, standing on one leg, increasing the number of balls, or resizing. In addition, the difficulty level may be adjusted as appropriate.

In some embodiments, the initial training, the first training, the second training, and the third training are about 1 to about 20 minutes, eg, at least about 1 minute, at least about 2 minutes, at least about 3. Minutes, at least about 4 minutes, at least about 5 minutes, at least about 6 minutes, at least about 7 minutes, at least about 8 minutes, at least about 9 minutes, or at least about 10 minutes. It is preferable to train for a certain period of time until you get used to training with one eye, but long-term training reduces concentration, reduces exercise accuracy, and reduces the effect of improving cognitive function and information processing ability. Is expected. A person skilled in the art can appropriately set the upper limit of the timing at which the concentration and the accuracy of the exercise begin to decrease in consideration of the difficulty and skill level of the training. Therefore, typically, the initial training, the first training, the second training, and the third training are preferably about 1 minute to about 5 minutes, more preferably about 2 minutes to about 4 minutes, more preferably. Can be done for about 3 minutes. The time for performing the initial training, the first training, the second training, and the third training may be the same or different. In a specific embodiment, the training time may be gradually increased or gradually decreased in consideration of the difficulty and skill level of the training.

(Shielder)
In another aspect, the invention provides a shield for use in training, comprising a head-worn band and a first shield that blocks the view of at least one eye. .. The shield of the present invention can be used in the above training method.

In some embodiments, the shield of the present invention may further include a second shield that blocks the view of one eye other than the one (FIGS. 1A-1C). By providing a shielding portion that blocks both the left and right eyes, it is possible to train with one shielding tool in a state where the field of vision of either the left or right eye is blocked, which is advantageous.

In certain embodiments, the shield may include a cover that blocks the front of the field of view. The cover portion may be configured such that, for example, a cavity is formed between the cover portion and the target eyeball so as not to press the eyeball while the shielding portion blocks the field of view. Blocking the field of vision without compressing the eyeball is preferable because it does not delay the recovery of vision when resuming training with both eyes. The shielding portion may further include a protruding portion that blocks the lower part of the field of view, and if necessary, a protruding part that blocks the side of the field of view. Protrusions may be provided along the perimeter of the shield to block both the lower and lateral sides of the field of view. The effect of the training of the present invention can be further enhanced by further promoting the limitation of the field of vision by the protrusion.

In some embodiments, the shield of the present invention is configured to be able to block and restore vision without removing the shield during training. For example, in some embodiments, the shield may be configured to be openable and closable around a connection between the mounting band and the shield. The connection portion between the shielding portion and the mounting band may be any material as long as it can be opened and closed around the shield, and may be an elastic material or a plastic material. In certain embodiments, the shield of the present invention may include a hinge between the mounting band and the shield. In another embodiment, the connection portion between the mounting band and the shielding portion may be provided with a groove for opening and closing.

In some embodiments, the shield and / or the wearing band may include a fixing member for resting the shield in an unobstructed state (ie, the shield is open). Anything can be used as long as it can be fixed, but for example, fixing with magnets, hooks, wire fasteners (zip fasteners), hook-and-loop fasteners (magic tape (registered trademark)), toggles, snap buttons, etc. These include, but are not limited to. In the embodiment in which the connection portion is provided with a groove, when the shield is attached, the connection portion is curved along the forehead, and the connection portion is curved along the curve while the shield portion is open and closed. It is fixed. Thick and hard materials may be provided above and below the connection to create a curved state.

The present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments for ease of understanding. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on examples, but the above description and the following examples are provided for purposes of illustration only, and are not provided for the purpose of limiting the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments or examples specifically described in the present specification, but is limited only by the scope of claims.

In this example, 11 athletes were trained in lifting, passing (grounder, float), trap and catch ball in the order of both eyes, one eye closed, and both eyes. Performed for minutes. After that, a questionnaire was conducted to see how much easier the second training was compared to the first training with both eyes. As a result, 5 subjects answered that it was "quite easier to do", 5 subjects answered that it was "a little easier to do", and 1 responded that it was "difficult to do" (Fig. 2). ). We conducted a questionnaire to 10 people who answered that it became easier to do, which item, trap catch, kick, or body balance, became easier to do (multiple answers allowed). As a result, 9 subjects answered that they caught a trap, 4 subjects kicked, and 4 subjects answered that it became easier to balance the body (Fig. 3).

In addition, the following impressions of the subjects were obtained.
・ I noticed that my shoulders and neck were strong when I was in one eye. I also noticed that it was a bad habit that appeared in both eyes. After returning to both eyes, it became easier to notice the habit and I was able to relax immediately.
・ If you relax with one eye and put it back in both eyes, it becomes very easy to move.
・ When I put it back in both eyes, I can feel the movement to trap.
・ It is now possible to quickly predict which side the ball will come to when it is returned to both eyes.
・ The number of places I can be aware of (breathing, the position of my center of gravity, etc.) increased when I returned to both eyes. I was able to afford it.

In addition, when both training with the dominant eye closed and training with the non-dominant eye closed were performed, the subjects showed that the training with the dominant eye closed was better than the training with the non-dominant eye closed. Many people said that it was difficult, but when they changed from a state in which their dominant eye was closed to a state in which they had both eyes, they also felt that training with both eyes became very easy.
