El baloncesto como estrategia para desarrollar la coordinación óculo-manual en los estudiantes de la educación básica media.

Abstract

Basketball emerges as a highly effective tool to promote hand-eye coordination in middle school students. This sporting practice involves the precise manipulation of the ball with the hands, requiring exact synchronization between vision and the movements of the upper extremities. For this reason, it has been necessary to investigate both variables in which the general objective is to propose strategies in the practice of basketball that allows the development of hand-eye coordination in Middle School students of the Imbabura province school, where the sports strategies that teachers apply for the development of hand-eye coordination were identified, In addition, the relationship on the practice of basketball and development of said coordination proposed in middle school students was established, likewise, a guide to basketball activities was proposed to improve the development of said coordination. The type of research is qualitative as an analytical methodology as well as a descriptive level, managing to diagnose reality from the proposed problem, in terms of the investigative instruments that allowed us to verify the stated objectives were the following, an interview directed at the teachers, as well as an observation guide implemented for Middle School students and teachers of the same sublevel. Additionally, basketball promotes agility, quick reaction capacity and fine motor control, crucial aspects for the development of hand-eye coordination. Students find motivation to improve their skills as they participate in training and competitions, thus contributing to the perfection of this coordination.
