Seeing less to perform better: stroboscopic stimulation effects on padel volley accuracy and reactive agility.
Article in PeerJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: The integration of stroboscopic eyewear into sport-specific warm-ups has demonstrated potential for enhancing performance. This study investigated the immediate effects of stroboscopic stimulation on sport-specific performance in padel, focusing on volley accuracy and reactive agility. Methods: Twenty competitive male padel players (26.0 ± 6.3 years) completed two experimental sessions in a counterbalanced within-subjects design: one involving a warm-up with stroboscopic eyewear (5 Hz, 50% duty cycle) and another under normal visual conditions. Performance was evaluated during and after the warm-up in each condition using a volley accuracy task, and a light-based reactive agility test was assessed after the warm-up. Results: Volley accuracy performance was significantly reduced under stroboscopic conditions compared to control conditions ( Conclusions: A single warm-up session using stroboscopic stimulation can acutely enhance volley accuracy in padel once normal vision is restored, suggesting potential for perceptual-motor priming. Effects on reactive agility were inconclusive, potentially due to task specificity and stimulus limitations. These insights may help coaches boost performance by integrating this approach into pre-training and pre-competition routines.
