College/UniversityPhysical EducationHealthTechnologyOther1 days

In this project, college students design and implement a gamified hand-eye coordination training program integrated with conventional therapy to improve oculomotor function and reduce eye muscle fatigue. Students will assess baseline coordination, design a mobile app, create oculomotor exercise protocols, and evaluate the training program's effectiveness through pre- and post-intervention analysis. The project blends technology, health, and physical education to enhance visual reaction time and overall performance in college students. Students will create a detailed assessment plan including selected tests, protocols, and data collection sheets for baseline measurement.
