The Effect of Sport Stacking Intervention on Students Self-Confidence and Bimanual Coordination

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of sport stacking on self-confidence and bimanual coordination of female students. 55 female students from 10 to 12 years old were randomly selected from schools in Qaemshahr. The tool used in this study was the Eysenck self-confidence questionnaire and the bimanual coordination system of the 32532 model developed by Lafayette company. Participants were divided into control and examination groups after pre-test. The examination group spent 36 sessions on the sport stacking exercises. At the end of the fourth, eighth and twelfth weeks, their self-confidence and bimanual coordination were evaluated as the pre-test. The results showed a significant improvement in self-confidence and bimanual coordination of the intervention group compared with pre-test and control group. Therefore, sport stacking is not a one-dimensional sport, which will only reinforce important physical skills such as coordination between the eyes and hands, but also self-confidence.
