Sažetak
Ski helmet in combination with ski goggles might negatively affect width of visual field and reaction speed on visual stimuli. The sample consists of 43 recreational level skiers. In laboratory conditions, the number of perceived visual stimuli was observed in 5 regions of ortoreter (vision-screening instrument). For testing procedure on the ski slope, Witty timing system was used for assessing the reaction time necessary to perceive visual stimuli. Significant differences among 3 groups were found when observing visual field in laboratory conditions, tested by ANOVA (p<0.01). Regarding the field testing, statistical differences were found in both tested situations when the task was registration of visual stimuli from left and right side. Group 3 differed from group 1 and 2 (p<0.01). Although ski helmets are widely used among recreational level alpine skiers in order to prevent sever head injuries, they are affecting skiers visual field.
