Description
Summary:The objective of the present research was to study the impact of the competitive learning method on the accuracy of direct free kicks in football among male university students.The research community was composed of the 90 third-year male students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences of the University of Al-Qadisiyah, in the academic year 2020-2021. A total of 24 of these 90 students were randomly selected forthe research sample, and they were equally divided into two experimental groups of 12 students. The experimental group 1 used only the competitive learning method, while the experimental group 2 used the competitive learning method and the Football Jumping Wall Device.The statistical analyses were carried out with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The competitive learning method significantly improved the accuracy of direct free kicks in football among male university students. The combination of competitive learning method with the use of the Football Jumping Wall Devicewas more effective than the use of the competitive learning method alone.Therefore, the authors recommend the combined use of the competitive learning method and the Football Jumping Wall Device to improve the accuracy of direct free kicks in football among male university students.
