Abstract

Introduction and goal: One of the most widespread underlying approaches is ecological theory. This view emphasizes a wide range of situations and situations that a person may face. These characteristics are influenced and changed by the environmental context of individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of linear and nonlinear training on the performance of selected basic motor skills.

Methodology: For this purpose, 30 female students with an age range of 7 to 9 years were selected using the available sampling method. Then, the shoulder throwing test and the kick were performed and the participants were randomly divided into 3 groups: linear training, nonlinear training and control. According to the program, the intervention groups performed the program for 6 weeks and two 60-minute sessions each week. The control group was not active. After the last training session, a post-test was performed and the results were recorded.

Results: The results of analysis of covariance showed that there was a significant difference between the remaining mean scores of kicking and throwing over the shoulders of the subjects in terms of group membership (experimental and control groups) (P <0.05). The results of Bonferroni post hoc test showed that the linear and nonlinear training groups performed better than the control group in the studied skills, but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P <0.05).



Conclusion: According to the results, linear and non-linear training can be used to improve performance in students' basic motor skills.
