Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立花蓮教育大學 === 體育教學碩士學位班 === 95 === The aim of this study is to compare the hand-eye coordination cognition abilities and whole body reaction time of boys and girls from different ethnic groups. The participants are 306 fourth graders of Amis, Taroko and Han from eight elementary schools in Hualien County including Zhong- Zheng, Hua-Zen, Tai-Chang, Yi-Chang, Hsin-Chen, Shui-Yuan, Jia-ming and Hsiu-Lin elementary schools. The instruments include Chen’s hand-eye coordination recognition reaction tester which is designed by PhD Chuan-Show Chen and TKK whole body reaction timer. The data is analyzed with SPSS 12.0 for windows by independent samples two-way ANOVA with ethnic groups and genders as independent variables and whole body reaction time as dependent variables. The data is further compared by Scheffé if it reaches significance(p<.05). The results of this study are as follow: 1. Hand-eye coordination cognition abilities of the habitually used hand, the non-habitually used hand and both hands were not affected by genders, but there was significant difference (p<.05) in different ethnic groups. Amis students’ hand-eye coordination cognition abilities are significantly better than Han and Taroko students. 2. There was no significant difference on whole body reaction time in different genders, but there was significant difference in different ethnic groups. Han students significantly performed better (p<.05) than Taroko students, while Amis students were significantly better (p<.05) than Taroko students. However, there was no significant difference in Han and Amis students. 3. There was no significant difference on hand reaction time in different ethnic groups, but there was significant different in genders (p<.05). Among the experiments on hand-eye coordination cognition reaction, there were significant effects on Amis students. Therefore, hand-eye coordination cognition abilities and reaction time could be the indicators of selecting sports players.
