Abstract

Background and Aim: Elementary school children have a strong curiosity and basketball is one of the most interesting sports for them. At the same time, basketball has a large number of complex movements, and the level of proficiency is often indicative of the level of skill. Therefore, this research was to design a fundamental movement training program and study the effects of a fundamental movement training program on basketball skills in primary school students, by comparing basketball skills in primary school students before training, after 3 weeks of training, and after 6 weeks of training.

Materials and Methods: This study is an experimental type of study to improve basketball skills by training 30 primary school students in fundamental movement skills. The duration for training is 6 weeks, 5 days a week, 80 minutes of training per day, through the test data before the experiment, after 3 weeks, after the test, through statistical analysis.

Results: The steady increase in basketball skill scores of the 30 primary school students aged 8-10 years old who participated in the basketball classes tested before, after three weeks, and after six weeks of the experiment can be concluded that fundamental movement training improves the basketball skills of primary school students.

Conclusion: In this experiment, compare mean comparison of TGMD, shooting, Dribbling, and Passing with pre-test After 3 weeks and post-test by way of ANOVA repeated measurement and post hoc with Bonferroni. Through the statistical analysis of the results of this experiment, we will find that they compared with the match pair of TGMD in shooting, dribbling, and passing. All pairs showed significant differences and each value steadily increases with training. So, fundamental movement training can effectively improve the efficiency of learning basketball skills.
