IMPACT OF AUGMENTED VIDEO-VERBAL ENCOURAGEMENT FEEDBACK ON MOTIVATION AND TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE IN NOVICE CRICKET ATHLETES

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effect of using augmented video feedback (AVF)-verbal en- couragement feedback (VEF) on the motivation and technical performance of novice cricket ath- letes. A true experimental method with a random control trial (RCT) design for 11 weeks was adopted in this study. 60 beginner male cricket athletes from the State University of Jakarta (In- donesia) were involved as participants in this research. They were divided into two groups, exper- imental (AVF-VEF, n = 30, 19.2 ± 1.06 years) and control (CG, n = 30, 18.9 ± 1.17 years) one. Sport motivation scale-II (SMS-II) and batting, bowling, and fielding were chosen as instruments. Two- way repeated measures ANOVA conducted on motivation and technical performance tests showed a significant effect of Time (all, p <0.05), a significant effect of Group (all, p <0.05) and a significant interaction for Group*Time (all , p <0.05). Student’s paired t-test carried out on two groups separately showed that AVF-VEF could significantly increase the mean score of motivation and technical performance more than the CG programme. This research highlights the importance of applying AVF-VEF as a training tool to improve motivation and technical performance in entry- level cricket athletes.
