Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study was conducted to clarify the extent to which observers are able to understand objective movement processes after observing slow-motion or repeated video clips of gymnastics movements on a horizontal bar. The movements were shown to 3-year elementary and 1-year junior high school students using original video clips, repeated video clips, and slow-motion video clips, and the students were asked to reproduce the movements using paper dolls. The results showed that the mean scores for the reproduced processes did not differ significantly between the 2 groups of students, suggesting that observation of repeated video and slow-motion video does not strengthen understanding of the movement process.
Mean task scores were significantly higher for students who were shown slow-motion video clips than for those shown original video clips of a “glide kip”, suggesting that slow-motion video is a more effective means of presenting more complex kinematic structures of movement.
