Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the tactical games model on self-efficacy, physical activity enjoyment, and learning of badminton long serve in adolescent female students.Methods: The current research method was a quasi-experimental type with a pre-test and post-test research design that included two experimental and control groups. Thirty female students aged 9 to 12 years old voluntarily participated in the research. After being homogeneous according to anthropometric features, they were randomly assigned to two tactical games model (n=15) and traditional training (n=15) groups. The training program included a badminton training program that was conducted for eight weeks and three 60-minute sessions per week using two traditional and tactical games methods. The tools used in this study included the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the badminton long serve test.Results: The results of the analysis of covariance and independent samples t-test showed that the tactical games model group had a significant increase in self-efficacy, physical activity enjoyment, and badminton long serve scores compared with the traditional training group.Conclusion: Overall, these findings suggest that a training course with a tactical games model has advantages in some psychological variables and motor skills learning of badminton long serve compared with the traditional method.

This study examined the effect of general and specific practice on the presence of a special skill. 24 healthy university students with no history of basketball were selected. After a pretest, they performed constant and variable practice (in constant and variable groups) for 5 weeks and 3 sessions per week. A performance test was conducted at the end of every week and retention and transfer tests were conducted after 2 days of detraining. The ANOVA test with repeated measures was used to analyze data. The results showed that the constant practice was better during performance in practice sessions and the variable practice was better in transfer of the mentioned skill. Also, no differences were observed in basketball throw from the penalty location between constant and variable practice groups in retention test. This finding did not support the hypothesis of special skill in basketball throw skill. Therefore, the coaches and players are recommended to use variable practice for more learning of basketball throw skill.
