Abstract
In this study, we examined the relationships between the consistency of han d use, exercise, and sports-related injuries as an indirect test of the hyp othesis that the consistency of hand use is a reflection of general motor c oordination. As we predicted, the consistent hand-use group (n=23) exercise d more, were more Likely to follow a regular exercise schedule, and reporte d having experienced more sports-related accidents than their inconsistent hand-use peers (n=23).
