The Acute Effect of ArmVibration on Eye-Hand Coordination Performance in Youth

Abstract

This study examined the impact of acute arm vibration exercises on hand-eye coordination performance in youths. The subject consisted of 24 male university students. Four sets of Double Hand-Eye Coordination Test (DHECT) were conducted on all participants by performing 60 sec vibration exercises at intervals. After 1-wk, the DHECT (providing 10 sec rest time in between) was performed again on the same participants (control) with four sets at intervals without the vibration application. DHECT results were recorded after both applications. According to the result of repeated measure of ANOVA, DHECT significant improvement was found depending on time measurements with vibration (p = 0.00), a significant improvement was not found depending on time in measurements without vibration (p = 0.17).
