Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out ambidextrous performance among children of different ages. The names of children studying 5th standard, 6th standard, 7th standard, and 8th standard were collected from Koviloor Andavar Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Koviloor, Karaikudi, Tamilnadu. Considering the limited number of children it was decided to select seven boys and eight girls from each standard. This study consisted of sixty children comprised of 28 boys and 32 girls. Their age was between 11 to 14 years. Jumping, throwing and hopping is the natural activities of children. They are considered as fundamental motor activity. Among children, the inherent talent and potential can be identified by testing the fundamental motor ability. The standard athletic events involve jumping, throwing and hopping. Assessing the ambidextrous performance would be useful to the physical educationist and coaches to identify the talent. In this respect based on the relevant literature reviewed and in accordance with views of professional experts in Physical Education, the following ambidextrous performance variables were selected for this study there are jumping, throwing and hopping. The factorial design is presented for a notational system. It is a form of the three-factor experiment consisted of gender, different age groups and ambidextrous performance with a repeated measure on the last factor of jumping, throwing and hopping with right and leg are analyzed by 2 x 4 x 2 factorial ANOVA.
