Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of handball motor skills training on visual working memory capacity of students. This study was semi-experimental with pre/ post-test and control group. The sample of this study were girl students of primary school aged ten to thirteen years old in Tabriz city that were selected on the basis of accessibility and divided into two groups (12 students in the experimental group and 12 students in the control group). We used Goodenough intelligence test and Corsi Block visual/spatial working memory to collect the information. The experimental group received in 16 one-hour sessions the handball motor skills. The results of analysis of covariance showed that learning motor skills of handball and practising them increases the performance and capacity of working memory. In fact, this study can show the relationship and interaction between motor and cognitive processes, particularly working memory.
