Concurrent feedback versus terminal feedback: The investigation in improving throwing accuracy in handball among primary student / Wan Habshah Wan Omar

The acquisitions of motor skills are fundamental in human life. Feedback is
related with the learning of motor skills. The study regarding on the effects of feedback
on motor learning is inconclusive. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the
effectiveness between concurrent feedback and terminal feedback on the throwing
accuracy in handball. A total of twenty-two (N=22) primary male students with no
health problems, (age, 10.91 ±O.29; weight, 36.90±10.99; height, 1.44±0.07) involved in
this study. Subjects were divided into two different feedback groups: concurrent
feedback group and terminal feedback group. Feedback was given during the execution
of the skill for concurrent feedback group and feedback were given after finish the
training for terminal feedback group. Based on Repeated Measure ANOVA, it shows
insignificant result between the two groups. Although the result shows insignificant
findings between the two groups, it shows the improvements in the skills among
concurrent group participants due to the strengths of understanding and the ability to
retain information that they received. Therefore, it is suggested that a concurrent
feedback shows greater improvement compared to terminal feedback.
