The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of video modeling on skill acquisition in learning the handball shoot. Sixty girl students (age mean 16/34 years) participated in this study. All participants were pretested to determine initial skill level. Participants have no experiences in handball shoot. Each participant was randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) Traditional group (control) learned this skill via teacher instructions. 2) Experimental group viewed a film demonstration for 20 minutes and teacher instruction. The demonstration was performed by professional players. After 5 weeks of film viewing, practice and class instruction, participants were analyzed to determine the level of improvement by Johnson test and power test. T-test analyzing information indicated significant within group pretest to posttest differences (p<.05). Experimental group significantly were better than traditional group in shoot carefulness and angle test, but there were no significant differences in power test. 5-weeks Video modeling significantly improved the accuracy in handball shot. Furthermore, the finding showed no effect in shoot power. Then video modeling may not be associated with muscle strength.
