Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of external routine on the first pitching performance in Boccia players. The experiment has been done once a week for sixteen weeks in order to determine the effect of routine on the first pitching performance improvement with participants who on average had played more than three years as a Boccia player in a special school. First, the boccia players performed first pitch by using cognitive, optical, and physical condition depending on their own experiences. The data were collected via observing the pre-recorded video related to participants'performance. Results revealed that every player used their distinct routine without intention. Second, when it comes to the accuracy measurement on the first pitching of boccia players, the result was much less accurate in the baseline measurement, and it still showed apprehensive accuracy after applying early-stage performance routine, but the more program session proceed, the more stable pitching they performed gradually, and the correct information of the routine was increased. Also during the generalization and maintain period, the results revealed that the more number of the correct information, as well as the more accuracy of first pitching and object ball. Based on the conclusion and discussion of this study, the external routine has a positive effect on the first pitching performance in boccia players. Recommendations for future research are as follow. First, the routine may very effective for psychological training and sports technique development of players if it used for other techniques. Second, it was very difficult to find precedent studies for disabled people, even though the precedent studies which combined the routine for general public were performed actively. Third, since the boccia players, as subjects, have disabilities, there was less communication between the researcher and the subjects linguistically and psychologically, so that if the researcher tried to take an active part in communication, the study would be much more effective.
