Effects of Reasoning Ability on Field Goal Shooting Skills of Female Basketball Players

در اين مطالعه، مهارت‌های شوت گل دختران بسکتباليست در زمينه توانايی استدلال آن‌ها مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. نمونه تحقيق شامل ۱۰۰ دختر بسکتباليست دانشگاهی (سن ۱/۶۷ ± ۲۱/۰۵ سال) بود. مهارت‌های شوت و توانايی استدلال به ترتيب توسط «آزمون شوت سرعتی گل ميدانی بسکتبال» جانسون و «آزمون گروهی نوع آميخته هوش» مهروترا (۱۹۸۴) اندازه‌گيری شد. نتايج نشان داد که توانايی شوت گل ميدانی دختران بسکتباليست دارای توانايی استدلال برتر بطور معناداری بهتر از دختران بسکتباليست دارای توانايی استدلال کم و متوسط بود. اين طور نتيجه‌گيری می‌شود که مهارت‌های شوت دختران بسکتباليست توسط توانايی شناختی آن‌ها مانند توانايی تفسير مشکلات در توالی مناسب، تحت تأثير قرار می‌گيرد.

In the present study, field goal shooting skills of female basketball players were assessed in the background to their reasoning ability. The sample consists of 100 female intercollegiate basketball players (age = 21.05±1.67 yrs.). Shooting skills reasoning ability were assessed by Johnson’s “Basketball Field Goal Speed Shooting Test” and Mixed Type Group Test of Intelligence prepared by Mehrotra (1984), respectively. Results reveal that field goal shooting ability of female basketball players exhibiting superior reasoning ability was found to be significantly better as compared to field goal shooting ability of female basketball players with low and average reasoning ability. It was concluded that shooting skills of female basketball players is influenced by their cognitive ability i.e. ability to rationalize problems in proper sequence.
