Abstract

This study aimed to identify the relationship between cerebral control and its relationship to skill ful performance among basketball course students in the Department of Physical Education at Al al-Bayt University. The researchers employed the descriptive approach to align with the study's characteristics in order to attain their objective. In order to gather data, the researchers employed Diane's cerebral control scale (Diane, 2005) which was translated by Qaddumi (2010) and comprised of 21 questions designed to evaluate basketball skills. The study was conducted among 50 male and female students who were enrolled in the basketball course during the academic year 2021-2022.According to the study's findings, the integrative pattern was the most common cerebral control pattern among the basketball course students in the Department of Physical Education at Al al-Bayt University, with a percentage of 83.9%. This was followed by the left pattern at 10.7% and the right pattern at 5.4%. Additionally, the study identified a statistically significant relationship between the cerebral control pattern and skillful performance at a significance level of (α ≤ 0.05.The researchers suggested that there is a need to focus on selecting basketball players and enhancing their skills by incorporating mental abilities and integrative cerebral control into their development plans during training programs.
