Abstract:
The aim of the experiment was to explore the effect of 6- weeks coordination training on eye hand coordination of young athletes. Thirty samples (cricket players) included in the experiment and equally divided into two groups and their age ranged between 12-15 years with mean & SD 14.09±1.32 years, from LNIPE cricket nursery. To measure the Adaptive Spatial Ability of the cricket players a computerized having high validity and reliability Psychological Assessment tool through VTS version -6 was used for which no computer experience or any training is required. The Vienna Test System SPORT is perfectly designed for sports psychology assessment, which is a valid psychometric tool for analyzing profile of the young players /athletes and provides clear report of their sports psychology profile (Vienna Test System sports, 2017). For this trial, a pre- and post-test control group design was used. The training programme was conducted over the course of six weeks. All subjects were informed about the objective of the study and gave consent to be volunteer participants for the experiment. The training was carried out three times per week on alternate days for experimental group. The statistical method ANCOVA was used with an alpha level of 0.05 to examine the impact of a 6-week coordination training programme on eye-hand coordination. Inferring that 6-weeks of coordination training is helpful for enhancing young athletes' eye-hand coordination is possible after statistical analysis of the data indicated that there is a significant difference in eye-hand coordination as the f value was found significant (p<.05).
