Item Práctica del baloncesto en la coordinación óculo-manual en estudiantes de educación general básica media(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y Deporte, 2025-07-04) Pilco Chango Kevin Alexander; Mocha Bonilla Julio Alfonso; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y DeporteThe study entitled “Basketball practice in hand-eye coordination in students of General Basic Secondary Education” focuses on examining the effect of basketball in the improvement of fundamental motor skills. The main goal was to establish how this practice enhances hand-eye coordination in a group of students of the “Nueva Era” Educational Unit. For this purpose, a pre-experimental research was carried out, which included an initial diagnosis through the 3JS test, followed by an intervention based on basketball activities. The approach used was quantitative, using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis methods, such as the Wilcoxon test, to measure the discrepancy between pre- and post-intervention measurements. The sample consisted of 31 students, chosen through non-probability sampling, who engaged in training sessions for six weeks. The findings revealed remarkable gains in the motor skills assessed, particularly in locomotor coordination and object handling, showing an increase in the mean from 15.03 to 17.58. In addition, the percentage of students in low performance grades decreased significantly, while medium and high grades increased. To conclude, it was demonstrated that basketball is an effective resource to improve hand-eye coordination, and its systematic inclusion in physical education programs is advisable to promote the integral growth of students.
