    This document discusses coordination, coordination exercises, and coordination tests. It defines coordination as the ability to use body parts and senses together smoothly. Coordination is important for sports and requires other fitness components like balance and strength. Exercises proposed to improve coordination include hopscotch, line hops, and shuttle shuffles. Coordination tests evaluated include the alternate hand wall toss test measuring hand-eye coordination, the block transfer test of manual dexterity, and the Minnesota rate of manipulation test of arm and hand movements.

    COORDINATION
    : All about
    Coordination,
    :Coordination
    Test,
    :Exercises that

    Coordination is the
    ability to use the
    body parts and senses
    together to produce
    smooth efficient
    movements.
    Being coordinated is
    vital in all sports,
    for example hand-eye
    coordination in
    racket sports and
    the co-ordination to
    use the opposite arm
    and leg when
    sprinting.

    Coordination is a
    complex skill that
    requires good levels of
    other fitness components
    such as balance, strength
    and agility.
    Someone who appears to be
    well coordinated may also
    be displaying good timing.
    It is also a difficult
    skill to teach, rather it
    is something that is
    achieved through proper
    development throughout
    early life development.

    EXERCISES THAT CAN


    MPROVE COORDINATION

    I. HOPSCOTCH
    This adult version of "hopscotch"
    has you performing the same hop
    on one foot, split, hop on the
    opposite foot, split, movement,
    but this time you're holding your
    arms overhead. You want to keep
    your torso tight throughout. Spot
    a line or "marker" on your lawn or
    in the park and hopscotch to the
    end, turn around and hopscotch
    back for one repetition. Do this
    three times for one set.

    II. LINE HOPS


    Here is where you'll be zoning in
    on your agility and speed. By
    hopping as fast as you can with
    both feet across a line (you can
    even choose a small twig as your
    marker) and back for 30 seconds,
    you begin building muscle
    responsiveness, stamina and
    coordination -- all at once! I love
    this exercise because you can
    pace yourself while doing it and
    it's a great alternative to other
    types of cardio, like running.

    III. POOJA'S SHUTTLE SHUFFLES


    In this exercise, you're
    shuffle jogging sideways!
    Start at the beginning
    mark, touch the starting
    point with your near hand
    and begin to shuffle to
    your end point, making
    sure to keep your body
    low to the ground as your feet shuffle below. When
    you reach your marker, touch it again and shuffle
    back to the starting point -- that's one repetition.

    COORDINATION TEST

    I. ALTERNATE HAND WALL TOSS TEST

    purpose: to measure hand-eye coordination


    equipment required: tennis ball or
    baseball, smooth and
    solid wall,Amarking
    tape, stopwatch
    procedure:
    mark is placed
    a certain distance from the
    (optional)
    wall (e.g. 2 meters, 3 feet). The person stands behind the
    line and facing the wall. The ball is thrown from one hand in
    an underarm action against the wall, and attempted to be
    caught with the opposite hand. The ball is then thrown back
    against the wall and caught with the initial hand. The test
    can continue for a nominated number of attempts or for a
    set time period (e.g. 30 seconds). By adding the constraint
    of a set time period, you also add the factor of working
    under pressure.

    I. ALTERNATE HAND WALL TOSS TEST


    scoring: This table lists general ratings for the Wall Toss
    Test, based on the score of the number of successful
    catches in a 30 second period.

    II. Block Transfer Test


    The Block Transfer is a manual dexterity test or
    coordination test of fine motor abilities. This test is part
    of the protocol for the Groningen Fitness Test for the
    Elderly, and is derived from the Minnesota Rate of
    Manipulation Test (American Guidance Service, 1969).
    purpose: to measure manual dexterity
    equipment required: two boards (56.5 x 23 x 2.4 cm), each
    punctuated with 40 holes (diameter 4 cm, depth 1.1 cm), and 40 blocks
    (diameter 3.5 cm, height 2.2 cm).
    procedure: The participant begins by sitting at a table with the two
    boards in front of them. Timing begins when the participant starts to
    move the 40 blocks from the first board to the second board, which is
    linked to the first board and farther away. The blocks must be moved in
    a prescribed sequence as quickly as possible using the preferred hand.
    The participant should practice with five blocks prior to the trial.
    scoring: the time (in seconds) to complete the task is recorded

    III. Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test /


    Manual Dexterity Test
    The Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test or
    Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test is a series of
    tests of eye hand coordination and motor abilities.
    The test package is commonly used in the
    evaluation of occupational fitness, disability
    evaluation and in rehabilitation.

    purpose: measures the speed of gross arm and hand


    movements during rapid eye-hand coordination tasks.
    equipment required: The testing kit that has to be
    purchased includes 2 folding boards, and 60 blocks. The
    wooden folding frame is 3 foot long, with 60 holes in four
    horizontal rows for placing the blocks.

    III. Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test /


    Manual Dexterity Test
    procedure: The complete test consists of a battery of
    five sub-tests: Placing, Turning, Displacing, One-Hand
    Turning and Placing and Two-Hand Turning and Placing.
    The tests are performed while standing. Each test is
    started with a practice trial, and then each test tested 3-5
    times. Both hands can be tested and compared.
