Correlation Between Hand Eye Coordination and Agility in Recreational Squash Players
Atharva Shere, Dr. Prachi Sarvaiya
Abstract: This study aims to assess the correlation between hand-eye coordination and agility in recreational squash players aged 18-35 years. Squash, a fast-paced racquet sport, requires players to exhibit high levels of agility and precise hand-eye coordination to effectively respond to the ball and maintain control during rapid movements. Agility involves the ability to quickly change direction and speed while maintaining balance, while hand-eye coordination is critical for accurate ball control and racquet positioning. The study utilized the Alternate Wall Toss Test to measure hand-eye coordination and the Agility T-Test to evaluate agility in 30 participants. The findings revealed a moderate negative correlation between hand-eye coordination and agility, indicating that as hand-eye coordination improves, the time taken to complete the agility test decreases. This suggests that enhancing both skills simultaneously may lead to better performance and reduced injury risk in squash players. The study highlights the importance of incorporating agility and hand-eye coordination drills into training programs for recreational squash players to enhance overall performance.
