Thanks to our research, we know that the OKKULO® system can raise performance levels through natural retraining right at the source of the decision-making process.
Several studies have been undertaken, in collaboration with Prof L.T. Sharpe, Prof A. Stockman – specialists in the field of rod-and cone-mediated visual adaptation and Patricia Rodrigues the well respected sports vision optometrist, that substantiate the scientific premise of the OKKULO® system, culminating in our most recent study "Light-based Manipulation of Visual Processing Speed During Soccer-Specific Training Has a Positive Impact on Visual and Visuomotor Abilities in Professional Soccer Players” which is a game changer, not just for OKKULO® but for elite level sport and beyond.
This independent scientific testing in partnership with Durham University conclusively demonstrated the ability of the OKKULO® system to improve reaction speed and enhance physical performance by as much as 23% with a 16% improvement in the velocity at which they could comfortably react.
A cricket specific study, undertaken at Durham University’s Sporting Academy in conjunction with former England cricketer Graeme Fowler involved a test of cricketers using only the OKKULO® system for training throughout the study period. In total, the participants trained in the OKKULO™ light levels for 4.5 hours over an 8-week period with no other batting practice taking place.
The OKKULO® effect was present with each study and enabled us to make professional cricketers’ bat consistently at speeds of 99 mph in little over 4 hours of training. The same study was conducted with soccer players. Following the success of our groundbreaking cricket trials, OKKULO® secured funding to develop a range of systems showcasing improvements across various sports. Our latest study has confirmed that OKKULO® enhances six key visual pillars, far surpassing what we envisioned in our early stages. With this, we designed, manufactured, and rigorously tested our systems, mainly in house, that elevate reaction times, perception, decision-making, and create refined, quicker movements for athletes across a range fo sports.
Sunderland FC Womens
A side project saw us work closely with the Sunderland FC Women's team. The season prior to OKKULO® intervention the team finished 2nd bottom of the league. The season in which they used OKKULO® for 4 out of the 7 training sessions during the week, the team finished 3rd in the league. The Goalkeeper also won the Golden Glove this season with 21 clean sheets - transfer to Newcastle United FC.
Scientific Validation
The upcoming publication of our new science paper, "Light-based Manipulation of Visual Processing Speed During Soccer-Specific Training Has a Positive Impact on Visual and Visuomotor Abilities in Professional Soccer Players” is a pivotal milestone for OKKULO®. This peer-reviewed study offers rigorous, third-party verification of our technology’s effectiveness, confirming the transformative impact of our patented light-based training methods.
OKKULO®: An environment like no other with patented technology and backed by global vision experts.
A contextual based training environment that can integrate into many areas of a sporting organisation. OKKULO® not only improves performance but crucially benchmarks every player from academy to 1st team, aids rehab recovery, manages workload, activates the athletes prior to training and has a positive impact on their mental wellbeing. OKKULO® also enhances technology already implemented within the organisation to provide new and valid data - compounding the improvements gained from OKKULO®.
With OKKULO® you will simply SEE QUICKER, DECIDE SMARTER & PERFORM BETTER.
