Depth Perception and Eye-Hand Coordination Among Physical Education Trainees

  • Unique Paper ID: 172969
  • PageNo: 1645-1648
  • Abstract:
  • This study investigated the association between depth perception and eye-hand coordination among physical education trainees at Mangalore University. A total of thirty Master of Physical Education students from the academic year 2022–2023 were randomly selected as participants. The research utilized the Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test Board to evaluate dexterity and eye-hand coordination, while the Depth Perception Box Test assessed monocular and binocular depth perception. The results indicated that the participants exhibited reduced dexterity in both the placing and turning series of the manipulation test. Furthermore, the analysis revealed significant relationships between binocular vision and eye-hand coordination, as well as monocular vision and eye-hand coordination. These findings underscore the interconnected nature of visual perception and motor coordination, highlighting their critical role in physical education and athletic performance. This study enhances the understanding of perceptual and motor skills among physical education trainees. It provides a basis for developing targeted training strategies to improve depth perception and coordination, potentially contributing to better outcomes in sports performance and physical activities.
