Abstract

The objective of the present study was to assess the association between visual and motor skills with intelligence in a group of male badminton players. To conduct the study 40 inter-university male badminton players (Average age 23.19 years) were selected as sample. Mirror drawing test was used to assess hand-eye coordination of selected varsity male badminton players while cognitive prophecy in the form of intelligence was assessed with the help of MGTI prepared by Mehrotra (1984). Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a significant association between intelligence with visual and motor skills i.e. hand-eye coordination of male badminton players. It was concluded that hand-eye coordination and intelligence are part of cognitive skills and thereby showing a meaningful relationship with each other in a group of male badminton players.
