| Abstract | ||
| This paper aims at exploring the preference of Handedness and its relation to the speed of motor performance in the light of both genders (males and females) and academic field (theoretical faculties students, practical faculties students). The targeted sample consists of 120 persons categorized into: 60 theoretical faculties students 30 males, ( M =19,36, S. D =,927) (15 right handed ,15 left handed) and 30 females, ( M =19,80 S. D =1,24) (15 right handed ,15 left handed) from the Faculty of Arts, Benha university) and 60 practical faculties students 30 males,( M = 19,43 S. D =1,16 ) (15 right handed ,15 left handed) and 30 females,( M =19,50 S. D = ,861) (15 right handed ,15 left handed) Faculty of Nursery, Benha university). The preferred hand is exactly determined through a questionnaire particularly designed for this purpose. The tests particularly designed for the assessment of the speed of motor performance include (1) Trail making test (Part A),Pegboard test , Fingers tapping Skills Test, and Hand Grip Strength Test. The findings of the current study suggest differences between both genders in the speed of motor performance according to the preferred hand and academic field. | ||
