The Effects of a Reaction Time and Eye-hand Coordination Training in Youth Players

초록

This study is an alternative to increasing the development of the athlete's potential, and the purpose is to verify the effects of the reaction speed (RT) and eye-hand coordination (EHC) training methods.We chosed young athletes from different group that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a reaction time and eye-hand coordination training program.There are twenty-two athletes(11-17 years old) in different area that apportion equally to groups which named Experimental and Control.Over a 12-week period, both groups continued their usual specific training, but the EG added twiceweekly 15-minutes of RT and EHC training sessions. All players’dynamic balance, limb movement velocity, agility, reactive agility, acceleration and running speed were assessed before and after the experimental program. Following the training, likely improvements in plate taping were found in both groups in comparison to pre-test results. In addition, EG also showed likely enhancements in the 10-m sprint test , and a likely and most likely improvements in balance capacity，posteromedial direction. Therefore, 12-week of RT and EHC training lead to meaningful improvements in acceleration speed and dynamic balance capacities of young athletes with a different sport background. In this context, youth sport coaches can use these training methodologies to reduce the risk of injury and elicit important performance gains on their athletes.
