Abstract

The purposes of the study were (1) to investigate the impact of online social network media on male basketball players’ performance aged between 16-18 years and (2) to make a comparison the shooting accuracy and the lay-up shooting skills between pre-test and post-test of using online social network media. The samples were males basketball players aged 16-18 years. There were 16 samples and divided into 2 groups, control and experimental groups, 8 members in each group. A set of tests was consisted of (1) the first shooting skill which the player aims to score by using the right hand to lay-up shooting the ball from the left side of the basket and (2) the second shooting skill which the player aims to score by using the left hand to lay-up shooting the ball from the right side of the basket. Data gathering consisted of 2 stages; pre-test (before using online social network media) and post-test (after 8 weeks). Both the shooting accuracy and the lay-up shooting steps were recorded and analyzed by using the paired t-test. The results demonstrated that the performance of the experimental group had shown greatly improved in term of the shooting accuracy and the shooting steps of the basketball players after the use of online social network media as a tool to introduce lay-up shooting skills. The finding of pre-test performance of the experimental group comparing with the post-test was significantly different at p < .01, but there was not statistically different in the control group. In conclusion, the basketball shooting performance of the experimental group showed great improvement in term of the shooting accuracy and steps for the lay-up shooting skills. The study therefore could be concluded that online social network media had a great impact on the improvement of the basketball lay-up shooting skills.
