Abstract

The aim of this review was to analyze empirical studies on eye-hand coordination training for children over the past 10 years. Eye-hand coordination refers to the ability to use vision skills to guide hand movements and is essential not only in sporting activities but also in everyday life and work. This review analyzes various hand-eye coordination training methods, their effectiveness, and their impact on children^s motor skills, academic performance, and social development. The studies reviewed included school-based interventions, exercise programs, and physical therapy techniques. The findings show that structured and consistent coordination training can improve children^s gross and fine motor skills, balance and spatial skills. In addition, a positive correlation was found between improved coordination and academic achievement and social interaction. However, the effectiveness of programs varies depending on the child^s age, developmental level, and special needs. This review also identifies gaps in current research and suggests directions for future studies.
