The Effect of Skilled and Learning Model on Accuracy and Dynamic Characteristics Acquisition of Basketball Free Throw Skill

The aim of this study was comparing the effectiveness of two types of skilled and learning modeling on dynamic characteristics acquisition of basketball free throw. After pre-test, participants (n=40) were randomly assigned into four skilled modelling and learning modelling, physical and control groups, and practiced three sessions per week for four weeks; each session consisted of 50 trials. A retention test was performed one day after the training period. Movements were analyzed by motion analysis cameras. Elbow angle scores of each participant, were compared with a skilled pattern. Mixed Factor analysis 4 (group) × 5 (sessions) of Fisher Z scores mean of the correlation function of the angle of elbow in each group with model, showed that all groups except the control group had significant improvement in performance in acquisition tests. There was no significant difference between skilled and learning groups in acquisition phases, but learning group performed better in retention test. Investigation of accuracy scores showed that there was no significant difference between two modeling groups in both the acquisitionphases and retention test (P=0.07). Thus, according to the findings of this study can be said that both modeling methods were effective for learning and dynamic characteristics compared to the accuracy scores, is a better indicator of the effectiveness of observational learning.
