improving your weaker side

For the righthanded its right eye, thats where most of the Periphrel eyesight is. Your left eye is more shortsighted. Opposite the other way, theres a little thing you can try. Put your Finger 6" in front of your nose, line it up with something10ft away. Then close one eye and see how much the object moves the eye that doesnt move to much is the dominant one. The one that does is the shortsighted one. Also eyes are the slowest body signal because of this plus eyes dont go direct to the Brain, what you see is the past plus the eyes only have a 1/6 of a second memory,it doesnt give much hope .

thanks for the responses, they're very helpful. It sounds like its best to go orthodox, i only do padwork and footwork really at the moment. I don't have a proper trainer and i've only been these past few week its very basic stuff. i'm just gonna try and get the basics down, get myself into good shape and work on my left hand, then i might try and move on to a gym and get some better training.

That works a treat.Yeah well mines right eye dominant Im a right hander.

Thats a cool exercise in relation to where you place your finger comfortably in the center of your vision.

I just reversed it and sat and held my finger dead center of my eyes looked at it both eyes open then looked into the distance beyond it with both eyes still open and my finger appeared to move over to the left.

Alas there's no tricking my weak eye.

when i close my left eye my finger seems to move to the left does that mean im right eye dominant? i agree its fascinating stuff ive always been amazed by the human body.

Eyes long term cause most injurys to the Body, because they cause imbalance of action and movement. Probably in a lot of circumstances through walking Gait certainly through running gait. I find it interesting that on a running track, it doesnt do left eyed people much good running Bends trying to stabalise there gait with the weak side, Tracks are not made for left sided people, only rightsided which there are 9 times more off. Ill be putting something on here in the next couple of weeks which seems to have solved the problem, You can actually run with your eyes shutt, and work on feel and touch while running, giving better hip stability.

Ive been doing the plyometric push ups moving hands on and off the board after every inch with my right eye closed, i saw it on one of the threads a while back, would the principle work the legs the same way with a board and a squatting type movement?

Its a different principle.

Reaction times also differ depending on which eye you are using (or which eye is dominant).
