The Effect of Using Interactive Augmented Reality Technology in Developing Visual Perception and Learning the Technical Steps of the Discus Throw Event

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of augmented reality technology on the development
of visual perception among second-year students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences at the
University of Kirkuk. The study examined the results of the visual perception scale when
throwing the discus, learning the technical steps, and performing a technical step test (study in
progress). The researchers chose the experimental method because it suited the type of research
being conducted. They used an experimental design that conducted pre-tests and post-tests on
both the experimental and control groups. The researchers randomly selected a sample of 50
second-year students at the Faculty of Sports Sciences at the University of Kirkuk. The main
findings include: differences between the control and experimental groups in visual perception,
with the experimental group performing better; differences between the control and experimental
groups in discus throw performance and numerical range, with the experimental group
performing better. The main recommendations include: the importance of using augmented
reality technology in physical education and its integration into training programs; and improving
visual representation in physical education classes.
