Oculo-motor exercise
Additional oculo-motor exercises will be administered to participants' warm-up before forehand and backhand stroke evaluation. As oculo-motor exercises, 3 different exercises will be applied: stepping exercise with eye movements and head rotation (The eyes are fixed on the thumb and the head rotates right and left and walks 10 steps forward and 10 steps back.), accommodation (First eyes fixed on the near target, then fixed on a target approximately 20-30 m away.) and pen tracking with 5 different movements (Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, circular, infinite eight).
Oculo-motor exercises
Oculo-motor exercises will be applied as an intervention. As oculo-motor exercises, 3 different exercises will be applied: stepping exercise with eye movements and head rotation (The eyes are fixed on the thumb and the head rotates right and left and walks 10 steps forward and 10 steps back.), accommodation (First eyes fixed on the near target, then fixed on a target approximately 20-30 m away.) and pen tracking with 5 different movements (Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, circular, infinite eight).
