Introduction of the Study

Chapter One is divided into five parts: (1) Background and Theoretical Framework of the Study, (2)

Statement of the Problem, (3) Significance of the Study, (4) Definition of Terms and (5) Delimitation of

the Study.

Part One, Background and Theoretical Framework of the Study, presents the introduction of the study

and discusses the reasons of the choice of the problem.

Part Two, Statement of the Problem, describes the purpose in conducting the study.

Part Three, Significance of the Study, states the profits that could be achieved from the findings of the

study.

Part Four, Definition of Terms, lists alphabetically the research terminologies o for reasons of clarity and

understanding of the terms both conceptually and operationally.

Background and Theoretical Framework of the Study

The player's body responds only to what the eyes can see. In addition, coaches always ask their

players to follow and monitor the ball accurately and this signifies the importance of visual abilities in

volleyball. Nevertheless, visual exercises don't have sufficient attention in volleyball. A few studies

tried to identify the implied mechanisms or specific sensory information involved in the identification

process that leads to successful performance. Unfortunately, these studies that try to verify results in

different ways are very rare (Casanova et al., 2019).

Very few studies dealt with improving these skills in athletes. Some of these studies indicated

that visual cognition can be trained as they asserted the significant effects of visual training programs on

improving visual abilities as visual training can distinguish winners from losers (Schwab & Memmert

2021). An athlete's vision is directly connected to the proprioceptive center in the brain through the

optic nerve fibers. According to the American Heritage Science Dictionary (2022), "Proprioception is the

unconscious perception of movement and spatial orientation arising from stimuli within the body itself.

In humans, stimuli are detected by nerves within the body itself, as well as by the semicircular canals of

the inner ear." These centers control the awareness of the body in space. A perfect example of

proprioception is to balance on one leg with your eyes closed versus open. Dynamic sports vision

training involves balance training, both generic and sport specific.

The obvious reason for incorporating sports vision training into a volleyball practice is the visual

system leads the motor system. When an athlete improves his/her visual skills, overall performance is

greatly enhanced.

An athlete's focus and concentration are also greatly improved, getting the athletes in the zone.

According to the late Greg Giovanazzi, in his article next paragraph "Seeing is Believing" (Volleyball

Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 11, 1995 updated 2023), "When people talk about vision in volleyball, they're not
 just discussing what one sees but also what is recognized and then acted upon. The recognition aspect

of vision is often referred to as reading. Great attackers read the block; great diggers read the attacker,

great blockers read the setter, and setters read the blockers. The game, at all levels, is won and lost

with vision and action based on what is seen".

This study aims to identify the Phase Space: The Effect Of Visual Exercise On The Performance

of Volleyball of the Special Program in Sports Learner's of Tigbauan National High School, Tigbauan, Iloilo

during the school year 2023-2024.

Statement of the Problem

This study will aim to look into the visual exercises playing volleyball regards to the SPS SPECIAL

PROGRAM IN SPORTS learners and will answer to the following questions:

1. What are the visual exercises of playing volleyball of SPS learners when taken as a whole and group

according to age, sex and family income?

2. What are effect of visual exercise as applied to SPS volleyball learners?

3. What are the advantage and disadvantages of visual exercises of playing volleyball?

4. Is there a significant effect in utilizing visual exercises on playing volleyball among SPS learners?

Significance of the Study

Volleyball coaches. Is physically a very demanding sport which takes the skill and the physical fitness

both. Some of us play volleyball to become professionals and some of us only see it as an entertaining
activity. Not only you can become a professional volleyball player, you can also become a volleyball

coach.

Players. To obtain benefits front sports injury prevention programs, players are instructed to perform

the exercises as prescribed.

Trainers. Integration of whole-body movements with virtual reality environments and computer

games has many benefits for exercise training and rehabilitation.

M.A.P.E.H Teachers’. Though this study, they may be gaining insights which could help them facilitate

learning and develop appropriate guidance measures as they continue teaching MAPEH Students. This

study it will help to strengthen their energy and skill.

Future Researchers. Future studies which are related to the content of this study may use its results in

the conduct of future researchers.

Definition of Terms

For the purpose of clarity and for the better understanding of the study, important terms are defined

contextually and operationally as follows

Effects. An effect is a change that is caused in a person or thing by another person or thing" (Collins

Cobuild Dictionary, 2021, p. 451).

In this study, effect means a change which is a result or consequence of an action cause.

Phase space. Chaotic attractor can be defined as deterministic random behavior in bounded jinase

space of the underlying nonlinear dynamical system that has extreme sensitiveness to infinitesimal

perturbations in initial conditions (Volos et al., 2022).

In this study, same definition is used.

through reading the ball and opponent movements in addition to recalling previously used movements

and identifying distinct features of the opponent. Amr, H (2022)

In this study, visual means relating to sight, or to things that you can see.

Volleyball. is currently considered to be a dynamic game, during which low intensity and high intensity

movements altemate. The high intensity movements include jumps, shuffles and rapid changes in

direction (Calleja-Gonzalez et al, 2019).

In this study, same definition is being used.

Delimitation of the Study

This study will use a narrative inquiry approach and aim to look into the visual exercises on the

performance of volleyball of SPS learners. Using the adoptive and modified questioners, informants

Pwere purposely selected. Facts that were presented on this study were based on the written narrative

of the information and were vaulted through a focused group discussion.

This study will be conducted at Tigbauan National High School Special Program in Sports for Academic

Year 2023-2024.
