AI-Supported and Traditional Tennis Training in Individuals With Intellectual Disabilities
Sponsor: Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University
Summary
This study aims to examine the tennis learning experiences of children with mild intellectual disabilities aged 12-18 years by comparing a real-time pose recognition technology-supported teaching approach with a traditional face-to-face instructional method. The research focuses on how participants experience these two different teaching approaches and how these approaches influence their learning process in basic tennis skills. A total of 30 participants will be included and divided into two groups: one group will receive tennis instruction supported by real-time pose recognition technology, and the other group will receive traditional instructor-led training. The intervention will last for 14 weeks and will focus on teaching basic tennis skills such as forehand and backhand strokes. The study seeks to answer the following questions: How do children with mild intellectual disabilities experience technology-supported versus traditional tennis instruction? What differences exist between the two approaches in terms of learning experience, engagement, and motor skill development?

Conditions
Interventions
Technology-Supported Tennis Training (Real-Time Pose Estimation-Based Instruction)
Participants receive tennis instruction supported by a real-time pose recognition system (MediaPipe-based). The system provides immediate visual feedback on body posture and movement accuracy during forehand and backhand skill acquisition. Instruction aims to enhance motor learning through augmented feedback and movement correction.
Traditional Tennis Training
Participants receive standard face-to-face tennis instruction without technological support. Teaching includes instructor demonstration, verbal explanation, repetition, and corrective feedback during forehand and backhand skill practice.
