The Impact Of Various Introductory Exercises Accompanied By Real-Time Feedback On The Fifth-Grade Pupils To Perform The Backhand Stroke In Badminton

Abstract

The study aimed to measure the effect of various introductory exercises accompanied by instantaneous feedback on pupils' performance of the backhand skill of hitting the dimensions in the badminton game. It also explored the difference between the experimental and control groups performance in the post-test due the effect of the experiment. To achieve such goal, an experimental design was used with two groups appeared in pre and post-tests. The study assigned purposefully 16 fifth-grade female pupils as the sample (6 control and 6 as experimental) of the study. The researchers used the pre and post-test to collect data from the sample. Results showed that the various introductory exercises accompanied by real-time feedback were highly effective in developing and improving the pupils' performance to hit the backhand badminton. Likely, the findings revealed that a statistically significant difference was assigned in learning the performance of stroking the back dimension of the badminton between the pre and post-tests in favor of the post test of the experimental group. Furthermore, the experimental group outperformed the control groups significantly. The study indicates teachers to apply such introductory exercises to develop their pupils' kinetic skills.
