Visuo-Spatial Coordination, Psycho-Motor Mobilization and Psycho-Motor Stability.Abstract
Psycho-motor Abilities are supposed to be the basis of successful sports performance. The Psycho-motor profile of a sports person is comprised of different type of abilities as mentioned in the paper. The present studies focus on the comparison of different psycho-motor abilities in the very young school athlete and mature university level players. Descriptive survey method was adopted. The data was collected from 243 school players and 244 college players who participated at University level. Seven tests for testing seven Psycho-motor abilities were applied in the field and lab as per requirement. The data collected was converted into standard score. Then t-ratios technique was applied to see the difference between the means of scores of all the tests. The results reveal that university level athletes have better Psycho-motor profile than school level players.
