The assessment and comparison of free throw basket-ball in male school students and hand-eye dominance

The aim of our study was to compare the accuracy of free-throw in basketball among Hand-Eye coordinated and uncoordinated students.
60 students of 3rd grade in high school were selected in Mashhad, Iran. Subjects were classified based on whether they had hand-eye coordina - tion. The task was the accuracy of basketball free-throw from penalty era using one hand. All participants received ongoing training for 5 days, with 30 throws and after that did the task 10 times for the accuracy of their throwing.
The analysis revealed a significant difference between hand-eye coordinate and uncoordinated subjects (p=0.005, F=24.82).
By understanding the individual characteristics and features, athletic training can be designed based on the individual differences leading to accelerated progress in the acquired athletic skills.
