Abstract
Game-specific skill practices are simply fitness and performance training designed specifically for athletic performance enhancement. If the training is done in the correct way it can be very beneficial, if not, it can be detrimental. The main objective of this study was to investigate and assess the analysis of Game Specific Skill Practices on hand-eye coordination and balance of cricket players. Thirty club cricket players (18-25 years of age) were randomly selected and divided into experimental and control groups of fifteen. Only the experimental group was treated with the Game Specific Skill Practices intervention for eight weeks, and the control group was kept without any specific training except regular cricket practices. Both group’s pre and post-test data were collected before and after the training schedule. The pertaining data of hand-eye coordination and balance were collected using a standardized test namely, ball transfer test and strok stand test. There were found significant differences among the pre and post-test means comparison of hand-eye coordination and balance between experimental and control groups (P<0.05). Appropriate Game Specific Skill Practices can be treated to develop hand-eye coordination and balance and may impact the improvement of the performance of cricket players and other similar games. Game Specific Skill Practices can be introduced to other parameters of psycho-motor also in order to improve the performances of cricket players at different levels.
