Study Aim: This study aims to compare the psychomotor abilities, specifically kinesthetic perception, and speed of movement, among basketball and football players.

Materials and Methods: The study involved a sample of 80 male players (40 basketball and 40 football players) selected through purposive sampling. Psychomotor abilities were assessed using standardized tests.

Statistical Techniques: Data analysis was conducted using independent t-tests to compare the means of psychomotor abilities between the two groups.

Results: No significant differences were found in kinesthetic perception and speed of movement between basketball and football players.

Conclusion: The findings indicate that psychomotor abilities such as kinesthetic perception and speed of movement are comparable between basketball and football players, suggesting that these abilities may not be sport-specific.
