title: Effects of the eyerobics visual skills training program on static balance performance of male and female subjects.
abstract: 10 male and 10 female students in physical education aged 19 to 23 yr. were each randomly assigned to both the experimental and control groups. Experimental subjects were given the 4-wk. Eyerobics visual skills training to assess its effects on static balance performance as measured on a balance stabilometer.
