The effect of the mental training method accompanied by standard feedback in learning the technical performance of the forward roll diving movement in artistic gymnastics for men

Abstract

The research aims to identify the effect of the mental training method accompanied by standard feedback in learning the technical performance of the front-roll diving movement in gymnastics, and the advantage of the effect compared to the traditional method of verbal and visual correction using the educational notebook. The research used the experimental method on a sample of second-year students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Anbar for the academic year 2022-2023. I used a form to evaluate the performance of the forward roll diving movement to obtain the pre- and post-measurements. The main experiment procedures were implemented in two educational units whose contents were similar for each group. The difference was as follows: The control group used verbal and sometimes visual feedback using the educational booklet that explains the sequence. Performing the movement of the body parts at every attempt to perform and repeat it, while the experimental group used mental training procedures accompanied by standard feedback. After completing the experimental procedures, conclusions emerged, the most important of which was that the mental training method accompanied by standard feedback is effective in learning the technical performance of the front-dive roll movement. Frontal gymnastics compared to the traditional method
