Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to assess the number of
test–retest trials required to familiarize participants in order to provide
acceptable reliability for the measurement of an eye–hand
coordination task using the Sport Vision Trainer (SVT). Two schedules
were conducted (S1 and S2). For S1, 64 participants (male
n = 51, age 20.8 ± 4.9 years; female n = 13, age 20.1 ± 2.1 years)
attended four sessions each 1 week apart, and undertook four
trials using the SVT. For S2, 60 participants (male n = 46, age
20.8 ± 4.9 years; female n = 14, age 20.1 ± 2.1 years) attended
one 20-minute schedule consisting of four consecutive trials using
the SVT. Limits of agreement (LoA) analyses showed that absolute
reliability was increased in both studies. The LoA for S2 indicate
that error decreased between trial 1–2, 2–3, and 3–4; ± 0.95
(CI, −1.16, +2.56sec), ± 0.97 (CI, −1.66, +2.14sec), ± 0.69 (CI,
−1.08, +1.62sec). It was concluded that reliable measurements
of eye–hand coordination can be obtained using the SVT in one
session.
