Abstract :

Coordination defined as the ability of fast and exact control and regulation of movements. The players in Cricket, Hockey and Volleyball do require eye–hand co–ordination when they exhibit their skills for successful performance. Based on above references the present study aims to analysis of selected psychomotor variable (eye hand co–ordination) among intercollegiate cricket hockey and volleyball players. To achieve the purpose forty five (45) college men students, 15 male players from each game namely Cricket, Hockey and Volleyball in Kulgam district Jammu and Kashmir, were selected as the subjects for this study. The selected subjects were in the age group between 18 and 25 years; there, maximum status of participation was Inter–College level. The criterion measures by using Eye–Hand Co–ordination test and the score was recorded in seconds. To collect data for this study appropriate test on Eye–Hand Co–ordination was administrated on the selected Cricket, Hockey and Volleyball players. Simple random sampling procedure was adopted for the selection of 15 players from each game for the present study. One way analysis of variance statistical technique (F–ratio) was employed to determine the difference among the players of three selected games for each variable independently. Further, the scheffe’s post hoc test was applied to know the paired mean difference if the obtained ‘f’ ratio found significant. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05. The result of the study revived that the Hockey players were significantly superior in terms of Eye–Hand Co–ordination than Volleyball and Cricket players.
