Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine effects of supplemented eye – foot coordination training on speed of movement toward jumping block positions in volleyball. 30 young female volleyball players from Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) School (15.30 ± 1.12 years old; 60.53 ± 7.51 kg weight; and 171.13 ± 5.50 cm height) were equally divided into control group (15) practicing regular volleyball training program, and experimental group (15) practicing 3-day-per-week eye-foot coordination training program in addition to regular volleyball training. Both groups were trained with the assigned programs for 8 weeks continuously. Velocity profiles of movement toward jumping block positions including reaction time (RT), movement time (MT), and response time (RPT) were recorded in both pre-and-post experiments and reported as means ( ) and standard deviations (S.D.). Paired sample t-test was applied to compare the velocity profile before and after treatments, while independent t-test was applied for between-group comparison. Alpha level was set at p = .05.
The finding revealed that statistical differences were found between the control group and the experimental group for post-test RT and RPT (*p<.05) Furthermore, the experimental group showed greater decrease in RT and RPT than the control group (*p<.05), but not for MT. Eye – foot coordination program might provide benefits in improving reaction time and response time toward jumping block position in volleyball.
