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.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PST on performance, retention, and transfer under pressure of novice badminton players. 40 novice badminton players were randomly assigned to experimental (20 participants) and placebo-control (20 participants) groups. In acquisition and retention tests, short and long service, toss clear and drop shots were used; in transfer under pressure test, notational analysis was applied. All participants acquired specific badminton skills in 24 sessions over three months. In addition to specific badminton skills, the experimental group received the specific package of PST during 24 sessions (each session 20 min.) while placebo-control group received the same number of sessions about general information on badminton. The results of mixed ANOVA indicated that in all tests, the scores of experimental group were significantly higher than those of the placebo-control group, which indicated the effectiveness of PST on performance and learning of novice male badminton players. The results of this study extended the effectiveness of PST to learning new motor skills.
