📄 Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the impact of psycho-physical training on selected psychomotor abilities, specifically depth perception and eye-hand coordination, among male handball players. For this purpose, a sample of 96 students participating in inter-school competitions, aged between 13 and 17, was selected. The experimental design employed a pre-post random group design. Initially, 74 samples were assessed for their overall playing abilities, and those scoring between 4 and 5 were further screened, resulting in a total of 42 samples. From these, 30 samples were randomly selected and divided equally into two groups, each consisting of 15 subjects. Group 1 underwent psycho-physical training (PPT), while Group 2 served as the control group (CG), maintaining their regular training routines without specific psycho-physical interventions. The psycho-physical training regimen for Group 1 spanned approximately twelve weeks, with sessions conducted five days a week. Collected data from pre-tests and post-tests were analyzed using paired t-tests, analysis of variance, and adjusted post-test means to assess the individualized and comparative impact of psycho-physical training compared to traditional training alone on selected psychomotor abilities. A significance level of 0.05 was chosen to test the significance of the results derived. The study results confirmed the positive impact of psycho-physical training on selected psychomotor abilities, including depth perception and eye-hand coordination.
