Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of the three instructional approaches including tactical-based (TGFU), the hybrid, and the technique to tactic (traditional) on the university students’ decision-making, skill execution, support and basic techniques learning in Basketball. The study adhered to a quasi-experimental design by employing pre-, mid-, post-, retention and transfer tests to evaluate the participants’ performance over eight weeks. The participants included 45 male students, who were divided into three groups of TGFU (n=15), hybrid (n=15), and the traditional one (n=15). The treatment was designed and implemented during an 18-session practice program. The results demonstrated that TGFU and hybrid groups outperformed the third group in decision-making and support factors, while in terms of Basketball Skills Test, hybrid and traditional groups performed better. The findings suggest that tactic-based models and using a questioning process based on a modified game framework is an appropriate training method for improving game performance in male students and it seems that the progress can be more transferable to the real game situation.
