The Effect of Using Virtual Reality Glasses in Learning to Perform the Front Jump Skill on The Vault Table in Gymnastics

Abstract

The aim of the research is to reveal the differences in the pre- and post-tests in learning the skill of the front jump on the vault table among the students of the second stage at the Akre Sports Institute / Dohuk for the experimental and control groups. And to reveal the differences in the post-test between the experimental and control groups in learning the skill of the front jump on the jumping table. The researcher used the experimental research method for its suitability and the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of (20) students from the second stage at the Akre Sports Institute.   The sample was divided into two groups, experimental and control, by drawing lots. The experimental group used the program prepared by the researcher using virtual reality glasses to learn to perform the front jump skill on the gymnastics vaulting table. The researcher conducted the homogeneity process between the experimental and control groups. The researcher also conducted tests of equality in the elements of physical and motor fitness, as well as the front jump skill on the gymnastics vaulting table.  The researcher used the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and t-value for the independent and linked group to extract the results. The researcher concluded that there were significant differences between the pre- and post-tests for the two research groups in learning to perform the front jump on the jumping table in gymnastics, in favor of the post-test. The experimental group outperformed the control group in the skills post-test.
