Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the compensatory impact of mini–basketball skills on the progress of fundamental movement in children, and hence to evaluate the degree of training impact in such skills in the desired performance of sports movements.Girls of 7 to 10 years old participated in Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2). The sample group of this research was girls with fewer scores as an experimental group that was trained mini-basketball exercises for 12 weeks in 36 sessions. After the practice, all girls were re-evaluated under TGMD-2. The data obtained by this test was analyzed using dependent and independent t-test. The results show improvements from pre-test to post-test scores in both experimental and control groups, while the experimental group significantly performed better than the control group in the post -test. The research indicates that the basic mini-basketball exercises had a considerable impact on the progress of the basic movements in children, who had previously experienced delays in those movements.
