Abstract
A Preference for using one hand rather than the other to perform most manual tasks and activities. Historically, it has been theorized that handedness is associated with a dominance of the opposite cerebral hemispheres of the brain. Handedness is an attribute of humans defined by their unequal distribution of fine motor skills between left and right hands. An individual who is more dexterous with right hand is called (right handed dextralista), and who is more skilled with left hand is said to be (left handed sinistralists). The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of model physical education curriculum on selected speed (visual reaction speed) parameters of dexterous preadolescent school boys. For that purpose 40 right handed dominance preadolescent students with an age category of 10-11 years from Government High School Hablashi Kulgam Jammu and Kashmir India were selected as subjects. The subjects were divided into two groups (n=20), the experimental group and control group. The model physical education curriculum was implemented on the experimental group. The experimental group underwent training for 15 weeks, 4 days a week and 45 minutes per class including warming-up and cooling down exercises. The visual reaction speed on left and right hand were selected as dependable variable was and tested before and after experimental period. The collected data was analyzed by using ANCOVA. Level of significance was fixed at 0.05. The result of the study shows that the model physical education on curriculum improves the visual reaction speed of selected subjects (experimental group) as compared to control group.
