The Effect of the Training Given by Using Internal and External Focus on the Sportive Performance of Girl Volleyball Players

Sports are activities that improve people's mental and physical characteristics and have multifaceted effects throughout life. These parts should be present in your life from an early age. Volleyball, with influences from different cultures and environments, especially from Turkey's most successful team sports, where women reach large masses. Volleyball is a dynamic team sport that involves very intense movements such as speed, jumping and changing direction. In volleyball, many motor skills need to be coordinated and trained effectively and developed. Basic motor skills in volleyball; Strength, endurance, endurance, coordination, speed and balance are maintained. Neurodevelopmental movement training given to the athlete according to motor learning geometry maximizes the athlete's sporting success and also positively affects their physical, mental and social development.

Motor learning is the process by which an individual develops motor skills and performs with a permanent change in performance that is acquired as a function of practice or experience. Instructions and complementary feedback are important influencing factors to support motor learning processes. Storing (re)motoring will be learned immediately, in case of registration, the accepted information will receive instructions on the correct movement system. These instructions typically refer to coordinating body movements, including the order, form, and timing of various limb movements. Instructions that direct the patient's attention to his own movements create an internal focus of attention. A simple change in the wording of instructions can have a significant impact on performance and learning. Transferring the patient's attention to the effects of his movements on the environment (external focus) is achieved through more effective and efficient movements.

There are studies in the literature comparing the frequency of internal focus and external focus when training sport-specific motor skills. In a distribution made, child athletes in internal and externally focused feedback groups performed free throw training, and a significant learning advantage was stated in the test results, considering the child athletes receiving externally focused feedback. Another reported that regular externally focused feedback did not increase the accuracy of the table tennis backhand stroke compared to internally focused feedback. In the literature, externally focused feedback was not found in local child athletes and novice athletes, where running was beneficial. Another study in the literature is external feedback in competitive girls' football volleyball players, and according to internal feedback, it is bet that the dunk speed in volleyball has an immediate performance on the athletes.

In general, studies in the literature have examined the effects of internal and external tension on volleyball-specific motor performance such as dunk speed and permanence vertical jump performance in girls' volleyball teams on the regime in certain age groups, but no comparison was found between groups. The investigators did not perform these operations but designed them based on the deficiencies in the literature.

The research was planned as an experimental study. The study will be carried out in two private sports clubs operating in Malatya, in the little girls' volleyball team between the ages of 7-11 and the adolescent girls' volleyball team between the ages of 12-14. The necessary permission to carry out the study will be obtained from the Malatya Provincial Directorate of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The study will be carried out in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. By participating in the study, the parents/guardians of the children in the girls' volleyball team will be informed in detail about the study and their written consent will be obtained. Participating children's age, height, weight, age of starting sports, duration of participation in sports (month/day), frequency of participation in sports (day/week) will be questioned with the case report form.
