Abstract

The present study sought to investigate individual, dyad and group exercising for learning a select few of rope jumping skills in fourth-grade students at primary school. A sample of 180 subjects in 10±0.65 age range was selected clustered randomly from research population which embraced the entire population of fourth-grade students at primary schools in Nahavand. Subjects without any previous experience in rope jumping in different schools were selected through individual, dyad and group exercising and were trained according to the national rope jumping scheme. The participants were trained during twelve sessions and their performance progress in the acquisition and retention stage (1 week later) was recorded. MANOVA with repeated measurement in the acquisition phase (3 PA*4 measurement * 2 sex) revealed that PA effect on performance was significant (P=0.001), dyad Vs group PA was better than individual; but, the sex effect wasn’t significant. Two-way ANOVA in retention test was also revealed that learning in dyad and group PA was better than individual (P=0.001), and no differences between dyad and group PA. Also, sex effect wasn’t significant. Based on the results and complexity of skills rope jumping, it deserves to don’t use of individual PA in learning of this skill and exploit of exercise in dyad PA such as observational learning, activation of mirror neurons, ….
