Effect of Verbal Feedback on the Lay-Up Skill in Basketball During Eight Weeks Training

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of verbal feedback given to players during training on lay-up in basketball. In 2016-2017, a study was conducted with a total of 40 students in two groups who were educated at Toros University and showing similarities in terms of some variables. The average age of the research group is (20.87 ± 1.61) for the test group and (20.60 ± 1.09) for the control group. Lay-up Evaluation Form, whose validity and reliability study was conducted by Çamur3 was used as data collection tool. In the data analysis, Shapiro-Wilk test was used to determine whether the scores show normal distribution or not. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used to determine the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the groups. In the study, 0.05 was used in statistical processes as the level of significance. According to the research findings, there was a significant difference between the test group pre-test and post-test lay-up values (p <0.05). The Mann-Whitney U Test was used to determine the differences between test and control groups. According to the research findings, a significant difference was found between the post-test lay-up values of the test and control groups (p <0.05). As a result, it was seen that verbal feedback during eight weeks of training had a positive effect on the lay-up. Keywords:Lay-up, Skill Learning, Basketball, Feedback, Verbal Feedback
