    ObjectiveThe aim of our study is to explore the relationship between physical performance and visual acuity in university students in China.Methodstests of standing long jump, 50-meter dash and pull-ups sit-ups were conducted. The visual acuity was measured using a logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) chart. Pearson correlation was used to test the correlation of physical performance with visual acuity in university students.ResultsThe number of pull-ups was negatively associated with visual acuity in the left eye for male students, while a negative correlation was found between the time of the 50-meter dash and visual acuity in the right eye for female students.ConclusionsOur study identified that physical exercise might help improve visual acuity. University students should practice strength exercises to improve physical performance.
