title: The effect of jogging on visual field indices.
abstract: The Humphrey 30-2 visual field was examined 9 times before and after an 8-km jog in one subject, whose contrast sensitivity had been found to improve after jogging. The mean deviation improved statistically significantly suggesting better sensitivity of the visual system after jogging. Our results suggest that in some individuals physical exercise influences the factors which lie behind the visual field long-term fluctuation.
