摘要: This study assessed handedness distributions among (a) sporting competitors (n = 1,112) and nonsporting university students 1,112), (b) engaging in interactive 576) noninteractive sports 536), (c) direct 219) indirect 357) sports. Chi-squared showed that there were statistically significant differences proportions of left-handed persons students, sports, (d) It appears left-handers are more common those who engage competitive manual activities. superiority the may be fully explained by a consideration tactical or strategic factors associated with han...
