About this study

Official title: The Importance of Different Types of Feedback in Sports Pedagogy

The aim of the study is to examine the effects of mixed (visual + verbal) feedback, visual feedback and verbal feedback methods applied to gymnasts between the ages of 7-11 on the front scale, back scale (knee-knee), back scale (shoulder-knee) and split jump elements by kinematic methods.

Read the detailed description

The participants were asked to perform the measured movements one by one during the training, and feedback was given to each participant one by one. In the study, kinematic analyzes were made by taking video recordings (measurements taken at 3 different times) of the elements performed by the participants in gymnastics. As a result, it was determined that the most effective feedback method for all elements except the split jump element was the mixed method, the most effective method for the split jump was the visual method, and the least effective method for all elements was the verbal method.The students were given the following training program (2 days a week) for 8 weeks and each group was given the same training curriculum with its own feedback method; Weeks: 1 Lesson 1:Running, Animal Walks, Forward Roll, Front Scale, Back Scale, Split Jump, Bridge, Middle Split, Front Splits Lesson 2: Running, Animal Walks, Forward Roll, Backward Roll, Front Scale, Back Scale, Split Jump, Balance (static) Exercises, Bridge, Middle Split, Front Splits Weeks:2 Lesson 1: Running, Animal Walks, Forward Roll, Backward Roll, Front Scale, Back Scale, Split Jump, Static Strength Exercises, Bridge, Middle Split, Front Splits Lesson 2: Running, Animal Walks, Roll Exercises, Cartwheel, Front Scale, Back Scale, Split Jump, Staircase Exercise, Bridge, Middle Split, Front Splits

As a result of the training program, the development of the gymnasts' Front Scale, Back Scale (Knee-Knee), Back Scale (Shoulder-Knee) and Split jump movements was examined.

Body weight measurement The participants' body weights were measured with a Xiaomi electronic scale with an accuracy of ±0.1 kg Participants' BMI was calculated as body mass (kg)/height (m2).

Height measurement Participants' heights and leg lengths measurements were measured using a Fisco brand meter ±0.1 (cm)

ELEMENTS AND ANALYSIS Front scale The basic posture begins with position and posture. With the arms up and one foot stretched above 90 degrees, the other foot at the bottom rises up to the toes and waits steadily for two seconds Back scale The movement begins with a standing position and a basic posture. In gymnastics, it is a posture in which one of the feet is on the ground and the body weight is on one leg. In the scale pose, the other leg is expected to lift up tautly. The arms are open at the sides and shoulder level. The body and arms are parallel to the ground Split jump The split jump movement, the arms are positioned above, and the legs are opened forward and back, creating a 180-degree angle KINOVEA VIDEO ANALYSING The video recordings of the athletes during the lessons were analyzed with the Kinovea program: Kinovea is a free software application that analyzes, compares, and evaluates movement. It is often used to evaluate an athlete's progress in training For kinematic analysis, recordings were made with a Redmi Note 11 mobile phone, and a Lenovo G5 laptop was used for the relevant analysis.

Front scale analysis The highest angular distance between the knee joints and the two legs was measured on the front scale (stance over 90 degrees with the leg forward).

Back scale analysis (knee-knee) and (shoulder-knee) The angle between the hind leg knee joint (knee-knee) and the shoulder and the highest angular (shoulder-knee) distance between the two legs were recorded in the scale movement. Although the back scale (knee-knee) and back scale (shoulder-knee) elements were tested on the same movement, their angular values were recorded and evaluated independently.

Split jump analysis When the jump occurred in the split jump movement, the highest angle that could be reached between the two legs and the angles of the knee joints in the relevant position were recorded.

ANALYSIS OF DATA The data used in the research were analyzed through the SPSS 27 program. The normality distributions of the data obtained with the Shapiro Wilk test are examined. Since the data obtained showed a parametric distribution, a one-way analysis of variance was applied for comparison between groups. For intragroup comparisons, analysis of variance was used for repeated measurements, and the Bonferroni test was used to reveal the source of the difference.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Mixed feedback methodBehavioural

    Feedback (technical correction) method in which both visual and verbal feedback are predominantly used in the feedback given to the participants throughout the training program.

  • Visual feedback methodBehavioural

    Feedback (technical correction) method in which visual feedback is predominantly used in the feedback given to gymnasts throughout the training program.

  • Verbal feedback methodBehavioural

    Feedback (technical correction) method in which verbal feedback is predominantly used in the feedback given to gymnasts throughout the training program.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of the effects of feedback methods.

    All feedback methods (each group having its own method) were applied to athletes who received the same gymnastics training 2 days a week for 8 weeks, in addition to their training. The unit of all measurements is the angle degree. This refers to the measurement of the angle between the designated points (knee, shoulder) when the relevant gymnastic element is performed.

With the arms up and one foot stretched above 90 degrees, the other foot at the bottom rises up to the toes and waits steadily for two seconds Back scale The movement begins with a standing position and a basic posture.

    Measured: Measurements were taken three times: before the training program was implemented, at the end of the 4th week of the training program, and at the end of the 8th week after the training program was completed.
