In water polo, one of the most important variables to execute an effective action, it is the time needed by the athlete to complete his own movement. The objective of this work is to verify if a systematic approach of "modeling" on a sample, using video analysis and field activities, lead to significant changes in the control group, for technical skills learning in children 10 -12 years playing water polo. Both groups were videotaped in the execution of three technical gestures (positioning phase, ball reception, passing) and evaluated, through a grid created “ad hoc” by the technician, every three months. The data in the three phase evaluations (input, ongoing and final) and their analysis and comparison with data from the control group, showed a significant positive difference between the sample group and the control group (+7%). In particular, the third phase showed a minor improvement (+2%) compared to improvement between the first and second phase in the sample group (+7.4%), while a substantial balance between the control group (+2%). The experiment confirms the hypothesis and shows the incidence of the use of video analysis as a tool for teaching and assessment of technical fundamentals in water polo game, giving great importance of "ideomotor" system to learn and refine the motor skills.

Abstract

In water polo, one of the most important variables to execute an effective action, it is the time needed by the athlete to complete his own movement. The objective of this work is to verify if a systematic approach of "modeling" on a sample, using video analysis and field activities, lead to significant changes in the control group, for technical skills learning in children 10 -12 years playing water polo. Both groups were videotaped in the execution of three technical gestures (positioning phase, ball reception, passing) and evaluated, through a grid created “ad hoc” by the technician, every three months. The data in the three phase evaluations (input, ongoing and final) and their analysis and comparison with data from the control group, showed a significant positive difference between the sample group and the control group (+7%). In particular, the third phase showed a minor improvement (+2%) compared to improvement between the first and second phase in the sample group (+7.4%), while a substantial balance between the control group (+2%). The experiment confirms the hypothesis and shows the incidence of the use of video analysis as a tool for teaching and assessment of technical fundamentals in water polo game, giving great importance of "ideomotor" system to learn and refine the motor skills.
