Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effects of juggling ball training on eye-hand coordination of lower secondary school student. A total of 50 students, who demonstrated eye-hand coordination scores below 15 or needed improvement, were selected, and divided into the experimental (n=25) and control (n=25) groups. The research tools were a juggling ball training program (IOC=1.00) and the Alternate Hand Wall Toss Test (IOC=1.00) for the assessment of eye-hand coordination. The experimental group underwent an 8-week juggling ball training program, with three 40-minute sessions per week. Mean scores, standard deviations, and t-test comparisons were calculated and analyzed.
The result showed that the experimental group exhibited a statistically significant increase in mean eye-hand coordination scores post-intervention compared to their pre-intervention scores (p<.01). Additionally, the experimental group showed higher mean eye-hand coordination scores than the control group post-intervention (p<.01). This study suggests that juggling ball training can effectively improve eye-hand coordination among lower secondary school students with suboptimal coordination skills.
