Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effect of feedback on some Kinematic and skill variables in back swimming. The researcher followed the experimental approach for its appropriateness for the goals and hypotheses of the study. the sample of the study was composted of (16) female students in Swimming 1 course participants for the summer academic semester 2019-2020 whom were intentionally selected and were divided into two equivalent groups (control and experimental). the variables of the study included Kinematics variables (swimming time: 25m for back swimming, arms round time, legs hits' times, length of hit to arms cycles' times, foots hits' number, hit's length relative to arms circles' number, hit's length relative to foots' hits, arms' movement time, foots' hits) and skill (floating, arms' movement, legs' movement, Total compatibility, floating with pushing for the farthest distance). To apply the feedback nutrition program of 6 weeks, with 3 training units a week with a total of 18 training units during the program period was applied.  Data were statistically processed using the SPSS program to obtain the means and SDs, and the test-retest method, and the Pearson coefficient.  Results indicated the superiority of the experimental group using the visual feedback method over the control group that used the verbal feedback method in the Kinematic variables and the skill performance on the post tests. the researcher recommended with the importance of using the visual feedback in teaching back swimming skill for its best skillful results compared verbal feedback.
