The research aims to:
-Determine the effect of using sequential skill-building exercises based on video presentation (slow and normal speed) and the method employed in learning several basic football skills.
-Compare the three research groups in learning several basic football skills.
The researchers hypothesized the following:
There are statistically significant differences between the pre-test and post-test re-sults of the three research groups in learning several basic football skills, favoring the post-test.
There are statistically significant differences between the post-test results of the three research groups in learning several basic football skills.
The researchers used the experimental method because it suited the nature of the re-search and experiment. The research population was chosen purposively from first-year students in the College of Basic Education, Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Mosul, for the academic year (2025-2026), first semester, and their number was (102) male and female students, representing sections (A, B, C, D). Hall (C) was excluded because it contains female students, and the re-search sample was represented from sections (A, B, D). They were randomly selected by drawing lots, and their number was (74) students. A number of students were ex-cluded because they were not equal to the sample members, in addition to excluding the absent students, whose number was (7). Thus, the final number of sample mem-bers became (45) students, with a percentage of (44.11%) of the original population. They were distributed into three groups by drawing lots, with (15) students for each group. The researchers used the design of equivalent randomly selected groups with pre- and post-observation controlled for control. The educational curriculum was implemented starting from 25/11/2025 until 7/1/2026, with one educational unit per week for each group.
The researchers used the SPSS version 25 statistical software package, employing appropriate statistical methods, most notably the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t-test for paired samples, one-way ANOVA, and Least Significant Difference (LSD).
The results showed that all groups improved in the post-tests compared with the pre-tests, with greater improvement in the experimental groups. The second experimental group, which used normal-speed video presentation, showed superiority in dribbling, passing, and ball control skills, while no significant difference was found between the two experimental groups in scoring.
