the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of focus of attention on learning dart throwing in mentally retarded children.in this quasi-experimental study, 22 mentally retarded boys (age 10-12 years old) were randomly selected according to iq (50-70) and were assigned to two homogenous attention (internal, external) groups after the pretest and a training session according to the obtain...

this study aims to better understand the effect of practice schedule and feedback providing types. in two separate experiments the contextual interference effect in bandwidth and self-control feedback conditions on relative and absolute timing learning was examined. in experiment i, the effect of contextual interference using bandwidth and self-control feedback on absolute timing learning (para...

The present paper aims to study the effect of skill complexity during different delays on bidirectional transfer on bidirectional transfer of tracking task in different stages (pretest, acquisition phase, immediate transfer, one-day delayed transfer, two-day delayed transfer, and seven-day delayed transfer). Three variables including handedness, time lagges, and skill complexity were studied. T...

this research was performed to monitor the effects of different practice schedules on learning and transfer of generalized motor program and timing parameter in a serial task. for this purpose, 80 participants (age: 19-23 years) voluntarily participated in this research and then they were divided randomly into 4 groups: blocked, random, blocked-random and random-blocked. this test included perf...

the aim of this study was to survey the effect of arousal by the presence of audience and music and their comparison on learning and performance of basketball dribbling. subjects were 36 healthy and non-athlete girls (mean and sd of age 21.8±2.23 years, height 163.4±6.19cm and weight 57.5±10.13kg) were divided into three groups of audience (n=12), music (n = 12) and control (n = 12) randomly. t...

introduction: preparation of neuromuscular system prior to performing motor skills affects the learning of motor skills. the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (pnf) on limb coordination and accuracy in dart throwing skill. methods: thirty two male students were randomly selected as study sample. based on the pretest scores, the p...
