Abstract

anthropometric characteristics and superiority of eye-hand are the most important factors in the implementation of motor skills; the goal of this research was to investigate the role of anthropometric characteristics and superiority of eye-hand precision learning of throwing darts.
The study method used is Quasi-experimental. So among the students of physical education Of Hakim Sabzevar University, 30 right-handed male students aged 25-19 years were selected. Subjects were divided based on perforated cards and Chapman questionnaire to align the two groups (17 subjects) and contralateral (13 subjects) eye-hand. The anthropometric characteristics including height, standing, sitting height, arm length, arm length, length of forearm and hand were measured in both groups. The subjects of basic education in four days, 540 trials did the throwing darts. At the end of the fourth session acquisition test was taken after five days in the retention test short-term and long-term retention test was conducted after 20 days. To analyze the data, the Spearman correlation coefficient test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and t-test with a significance level of α=0/05 in SPSS version 21 was used.Results showed that there are significant correlations between standing height (p=0/025) and Forearm and hand (p=0/004) with performance accuracy. But there are not significant correlations between sitting height, Upper Extremity, arm length and dominant eye with dart-throwing accuracy.Thus, according to the findings of the study it can be concluded that, the height and length of the forearm and hand stand accurately throw darts; superiority of eye-hand running accuracy is not effective in darts throwing, too.
