title: Selected visual abilities of college football players.
abstract: Relationships between visual abilities and athletic performance have been examined but reported findings are inconclusive and inconsistent. Data were collected from 40 volunteer college football players on horizontal peripheral vision, vertical peripheral vision, depth perception, and visual disembedding. No differences were found between varsity and junior varsity football players, indicating that relatively more successful players are not characterized by greater visual perception attributes.
