Summary

Exercise, both acute and habitual, significantly impacts visual evoked potentials (VEP) responses. These neurophysiological changes in VEP may serve as criteria for assessing athletic performance.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sports Science
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Visual evoked potentials (VEP) are electrophysiological responses to visual stimuli.
  • Understanding how exercise affects VEP is crucial for sports science and neuroscience.
  • Previous research has not fully elucidated the chronic and acute effects of exercise on VEP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of acute and habitual exercise on VEP.
  • To compare VEP responses between athletes and sedentary individuals.
  • To determine if VEP can be used as a neurophysiological criterion for athletic performance.

Main Methods:

  • VEP (N75, P100, N145 latency and amplitudes) were measured in volleyball players and a control group.
  • Measurements were taken before and after acute exercise.

  • Intragroup and intergroup comparisons were performed to assess acute and chronic effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in pre-exercise N145 latencies/amplitudes and P100 amplitudes were observed between athletes and sedentary subjects.
    • Right-eye N145 latencies differed in inactive females before and after exercise.
    • VEP responses were affected by exercise independent of body temperature.

    Conclusions:

    • Both acute and habitual exercise influence VEP responses.
    • Smaller pre-exercise P100 amplitudes in athletes may relate to high-demand visual sports.
    • VEP shows potential as a neurophysiological tool for evaluating athletic performance.
