Description
Summary:The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of a proposed swimming on physical education students' performance and swimming anxiety. The sample consisted of the experimental group (N= 13) and the control group (N=13). The results indicated that the experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group on the skills of gliding stroke, front crawl kicking, back crawl kicking, standing, jumping into the water and crawl stroke. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the elementary backstroke skills. The results also indicated that the experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group in the swimming anxiety scale. The researchers recommended conducting other studies with other age groups.
