To investigate the effects of game-based learning on tactical awareness and skill development in golf training programs.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 45 male athletes aged 18-30, divided into three groups: Tactical Awareness Training Group (TATG), Skill-Based Training Group (SBTG), and an Active Control Group (ACG). The intervention lasted eight weeks. Tactical awareness was assessed using a modified Tactical Skills Inventory for Sport (TACSIS) includes Knowing About Ball Actions (KABA), Acting in Changing Situations (ACS) and Positioning and Deciding (PD); while technical performance metrics, including Drive Distance (DD), Putting Accuracy (PA), and Swing Consistency (SC), were measured using validated tools. Pre- and post-intervention results were analyzed for within-group and between-group differences.
Within-group improvements were significant for TATG in all tactical subscales: KABA (Δ = 15.6%, p < 0.001), ACS (Δ = 18.9%, p < 0.001), and PD (Δ = 19.2%, p < 0.001). SBTG showed significant skill improvements in DD (Δ = 3.6%, p < 0.001), PA (Δ = 7.5%, p < 0.001), and SC (Δ = -24.6%, p < 0.001). Between-group analysis indicated TATG outperformed ACG significantly on tactical awareness, and SBTG significantly outperformed ACG on technical metrics (p < 0.05).
The study highlights the complementary benefits of integrating tactical and technical training strategies in golf. Game-based learning in the TATG improved situational adaptability and strategic decision-making, while skill-focused training in the SBTG resulted in superior precision and consistency. These findings advocate for a holistic approach to golf training, incorporating both cognitive and physical components to optimize performance outcomes.
探讨基于游戏的学习对高尔夫训练计划中战术意识和技能发展的影响。
对45名年龄在18至30岁之间的男性运动员进行了一项随机对照试验，分为三组：战术意识训练组（TATG）、技能训练组（SBTG）和积极对照组（ACG）。干预持续八周。使用改良的运动战术技能量表（TACSIS）评估战术意识，该量表包括了解球的动作（KABA）、在变化情境中行动（ACS）和定位与决策（PD）；而技术性能指标，包括击球距离（DD）、推杆准确性（PA）和挥杆一致性（SC），则使用经过验证的工具进行测量。分析干预前后组内和组间差异的结果。
TATG在所有战术子量表上的组内改善均显著：KABA（Δ = 15.6%，p < 0.001）、ACS（Δ = 18.9%，p < 0.001）和PD（Δ = 19.2%，p < 0.001）。SBTG在DD（Δ = 3.6%，p < 0.001）、PA（Δ = 7.5%，p < 0.001）和SC（Δ = -24.6%，p < 0.001）方面显示出显著的技能改善。组间分析表明，TATG在战术意识方面显著优于ACG，SBTG在技术指标方面显著优于ACG（p < 0.05）。
该研究强调了在高尔夫运动中整合战术和技术训练策略的互补益处。TATG中基于游戏的学习提高了情境适应性和战略决策能力，而SBTG中以技能为重点的训练则带来了更高的精度和一致性。这些发现提倡采用整体的高尔夫训练方法，将认知和身体成分结合起来以优化表现结果。
