Eventual sport performance level: What about the role of type of sport, perception of critical life events, and practice quality?

abstract：:Impulsive testing, which accurately measures the gain of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is mostly recorded from only one eye. We measured the horizontal VOR of both eyes in response to graded velocity head impulses in 14 normal subjects. VOR acceleration gains were similar for each eye in both directions at low acc...

The earth-vertical stimulus leads to a gravito-inertial acceleration vector that changes magnitude but not direction. It can therefore be viewed as a dynamic change of the gravity leve...
