Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate of the effect of perceived physical fitness on acquisition of volleyball claw skill in girls 10 to 13 years old.
Methodology: The research method is semi-experimental and pre-test and post-test with two experimental groups. The participants were 30 female students aged 10 to 13 years. None of the participants have any background in the field of volleyball. Samples were divided into groups based on the points of Marsh's (1994) Perceived Physical Fitness Questionnaire. The first group includes people with positive perceived physical fitness characteristics who received volleyball claw exercises for 15 sessions and 4 1-minute blocks in each session. The second group also includes people with negative perceived physical fitness who practiced the same skills as same as a positive perceived physical fitness group. Also, to evaluate the acquisition test in order to obtain the performance score of the participants, the volleyball claw standard test was used. In order to analyze the data Independent t-test was used.
Results: The results of the independent t-test indicate that there is a significant difference between the two groups of positive and negative perceived physical fitness in the stage of acquiring volleyball claw skills and the performance of the positive group is better than the negative group.
Conclusions: The mental structure of individuals with positively perceived physical fitness is such that they have higher potential amplitude ranges than others, their serotonin metabolism in the cerebrospinal fluid is higher than others, and they are more prone to acquire new skills than others.
