Vision supports both real-time corrections and anticipatory adjustments for effective performance (Pointer, 2012).” Sporting environments are complex and often require rapid responses; thus, eye movements play a critical role in anticipation, practice, motor learning, development, and expertise (Botwinick & Thompson, 1966). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between interpupillary distance (IPD) and reaction time among male and female kabaddi players. Another purpose was to identify whether a significant difference exists in IPD on the basis of gender. A total of 60 kabaddi players (30 male, 30 female) were randomly selected from Kottayam district. Interpupillary distance and reaction time were measured, and statistical analysis was performed. Results revealed a significant positive relationship between IPD and reaction time amo
