Abstract

Background: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of selected demographic factors on the hand-eye coordination performance of secondary school students. 
Methods: A total of 326 males high school teenagers were selected from 4 districts of Shiraz city (age range 16-18 years, 90.2% right-handed; 7.7% left-handed; 1.5% both hands; non-response 0.6). Then they were investigated using J Plus software, the available targeted sampling method, the Grooved pegboard test, and a researcher-made demographic form under the same implementation conditions. 
Results: The one-way analysis of the variance test showed a significant difference between the fields of study (P= 0.02). Tukey's post hoc test in whose right hand was dominant found that this difference is between humanities and technical (P=0.009) and humanities and mathematics (P= 0.005) groups. 
Conclusion: Hand-eye coordination performance is more affected by the cognitive aspect and information processing, and all kinds of constraints can be considered an essential and influencing variable in the execution of movement patterns in which coordination plays a significant role.
