PAUL, M.; BISWAS, S. K.; SANDHU, J. S. Role of sports vision and eye hand coordination training in
performance of table tennis players. Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity, v. 5, n. 2, p. 106-116, 2011. Successful
performance in interceptive tasks depends upon the acquisition of visual information about the approaching
object. The present study therefore evaluated the effects of sports vision and eye hand coordination training
on sensory and motor performance of table tennis players. 45 University level table tennis players were
randomly divided into 3 equal groups of n=15. The experimental group underwent 8 weeks of sports vision
and eye hand co-ordination training. The placebo group read articles pertaining to sports performance and
watched televised table tennis matches, while the control group followed only routine practice sessions for 8
weeks. Measures of visual function and motor performance were obtained from all participants before and
immediately after 8 weeks of training. Statistically significant pre to post training differences were evident by
better improvement in visual variables and motor performance for the experimental group as compared to
placebo and control. The present study therefore concluded that visual training program improves the basic
visual skills, which in turn are transferable into sports specific performance.
