effect of peer prescence on strength test scores of Bahraini male athletes

ABSTRACT

This study examined the effect of the presence of peers as a motivator on strength scores as measured on an isokinetic dynamometer. The results show that strength score measurements increase significantly when peers are present. Coashes, trainers, and therapists may emprove strength, and perhaps other exercise, programs by including the presence of other in their program plans. This study has also supported the concept that peer presence affect simple motor responses while perhaps disturbing those that are newer and less well learned. More studies are needed to look at the role of new tasks
