Effect of Technique Training with and without Visual Feedback on High Jump Performance

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of technique training with and without visual feedback on High Jump Performance and Technique. To achieve this purpose, twenty four Physical Education Students studying Master degree in Physical Education were selected from the Dept. of Physical Education and Sports, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli and their age ranged between from 22-26 years. The selected subjects were divided in to two groups of 12 each. Group I underwent technique training with Visual Feedback and Group II underwent technique training without Visual Feedback of their event for six weeks with three alternative days per week. High Jump Performance and Technique were selected as dependent variables and it was measured through competition and expert rating method respectively. The pre and post test data on High Jump Performance and Technique were conducted prior to and immediately after the experimental period from the selected subjects. The collected data on High Jump Performance and Technique was analysed by using dependent ‘t’ test and analysis of covariance and the results were discussed at .05 level of confidence. The result of study indicates that there was a significant improvement on High Jump Performance and Technique due to the effect of skill training with and without visual feedback. Technique training with visual feedback outperformed than the technique training without visual feedback on High Jump Performance and Technique.
