Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of active video games and basic sports games on the development of motor skills in fourth grade male students in Ahvaz. The method of the present study was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of this study included all 10-year-old boys in primary schools in Ahvaz, 60 of whom were selected by convenience sampling and randomly divided into three groups of 20 action video game, fundamental sports game and control (inactive video). The instrument used in this study was the Bruininks-Oseretsky motor proficiency test, version 2. Participants performed the pre-test Bruininks-Oseretsky Skills Test 2. Then, the action video games group with the Xbox 360 Kinect; and the basic sports games practiced with skills of locomotion and object control in 5 steps for 8 weeks, 2 a week and 30 minutes per session. The control group also practiced inaction video games under the full supervision of the examiner. At the end of the training sessions, Post-test of Bruininks-Oseretskymotor proficiency test version 2 was performed. The results showed that both groups of action video and basic sports had a significant effect on the development of perceptual motor skills compared to the control group. But no difference was observed between the two experimental groups. Based on the findings of this study, it is possible to use both basic sports and Action video methods, or a combination of both methods in the absence of suitable environmental conditions for motor development.
