Eye-Hand Coordination

[Draphoelix]

Doing a project right now with two friends about tiredness/fatigue.
Found out that it impairs eye-hand coordination and I'm wondering if you guys know anyway I could "test" it? Basketball where we keep track of our score by shooting from a set distance?

The reason I posted it in the General Gaming section is because I've heard that playing video games also requires eye-hand coordination and wondering if you know any games like that for testing eye-hand coordination purposes? Anything outside video games would suffice too.

1
Color. Grab some coloring books and crayons and color away. While this may bring you back to childhood, it will also improve hand-eye coordination. It is a creative way to control your hands and fingers to do what your eyes coordinate them to do within the confines of the page. Use markers or colored pencils. Instead of a coloring book, grab a sketch pad and draw your own pictures to color.

2
Play video games or online games. Video games require hand skills to execute the desired task to play the game, using motor skills with visual perception. Play a game that requires precision timing, a sensitive touch and detail and you will find your hand-eye skill increases. Playing video games may even help surgeons perfect their skill in the operating room.

3
Put together a jigsaw puzzle. This requires picking up specific pieces to analyze which ones fit together, using and improving both hand-eye coordination and reasoning skills. An even more challenging jigsaw puzzle that will improve hand eye coordination is the 3D jigsaw puzzle.

4
Pick up a baseball, wiffleball or softball bat and take aim. It requires hand-eye skill to hit a ball with a bat. Playing catch has the same effect. If you know how to improve eye hand coordination, you can become better at your chosen sport.

5
Play a sport that involves a racquet, whether that is ping pong, tennis or racquetball. The concept of hitting a ball with the racquet is the same as hitting a ball with a bat except you also have to factor in your opponent's moves as well.

6
Box. If you are afraid of getting hit by your opponent, while this is good motivation to learn hand-eye skill, use boxing bags that move instead. Trying to hit a moving bag will improve hand-eye coordination.

7
Build something or make a craft. Use sticks, blocks or toothpicks to build a model. Try crafts such as crocheting, needlepoint or any craft kit you can find at the store. Mold clay or try your hand at pottery.

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more you can do.

I always called it hand-eye coordination...

Any shooter? Geez, really any game that is like real-time and requires you to do an action where time is somewhat important will need hand-eye coordination, whether its moving accurately to shoot someone, or turning a tight corner as you drive, or micro in strategy games, or building fast in like Sims, etc.
