Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (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. 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 pos

  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.

Study Arms (3)

Mixed Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Group 1 (Mixed Feedback Group n=20) is the group in which both verbal and visual (video-supported) feedback methods were used together while applying the training program to the gymnasts.

Behavioral: Mixed feedback method

Visual Feedback Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Group 2 is the group where the gymnasts are provided with visual feedback in some way throughout the training program. (Visual Feedback Group = 20)

Behavioral: Visual feedback method

Verbal Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Group 3 (Verbal Group n=20) is the group in which verbal feedback methods are predominantly used when applying the training program to gymnasts.

Behavioral: Verbal feedback method

Interventions

Mixed feedback method BEHAVIORAL

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.

Mixed Group

Visual feedback method BEHAVIORAL

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

Visual Feedback Group

Verbal feedback method BEHAVIORAL

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

Verbal Group
