Therefore, 36 non-athlete female students (mean age=21¡À2.5 yr.) were selected and assigned randomly to the expert model, self-observation, and control (without model) groups. After instruction, participants performed pretest and practiced the skill after receiving the related models (videotape of their last session or an expert player) for 4 sessions. The control group practiced without modeling. In the last session, acquisition test and after a week, retention (in the same condition) and transfer tests (with spectators) were performed without modeling. Movement pattern was measured by a researcher-made scale. The results of 3*4 ANOVA with repeated measures of test factor indicated that acquisition and transfer of expert model group was better than others (p<.05) and modeling had not the significant effect on movement pattern of futsal side foot pass skill in retention test (p>.05). According to the results, futsal instructors have to demonstrate an expert model to teach movement patterns of simple skills in early stages of learning %K Neda Ghobadi %K Afkham Daneshfar and Masoumeh Shojaei %K Futsal pass %K Modeling %K Observational learning %U https://www.imedpub.com/abstract/comparing-the-effects-of-self-and-expert-models-observation-on-performance-and-learning-of-futsal-side-foot-pass-12063.html
