BACKGROUND: Online learning is the newest and most popular form of distance education today;within the past decade it has had a major impact on education. The aim of the present study was toknow the effect of online learning basketball using social media on learners’ performance of somefundamental skills in basketball and determine difference between online learning and in‑personlearning, knowing which one is better than the other.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present experimental study was conducted in Sports Academyfor Basketball in Zagazig‑Egypt during March–April 2022. Thirty two female junior basketball playersvolunteered to participate in the study from Sports Academy for Basketball (age: 16.23 ± 0.66 years;body height: 164.5 ± 3.32 cm; body mass: 65.25 ± 3.22 kg). They were divided into two equally sizedexperimental groups, online learning (ONL) group (n = 16) and in‑person learning (INL) group (n = 16),to perform (15) educational sessions for (5) weeks, (3) sessions per week, and the session timewas 90 minutes. Junior basketball players were assessed before and after five‑week training period.Data were collected by Basketball Passing test, Dribbling Skill test, Lay Up Shoot test, Speed SpotShooting, and Free‑Throw Shooting test. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 22software using the descriptive statistical test. The level of significance was set at P ≤0.05.RESULTS: The results showed that the two groups made significant improvements in all variables butINL group had significantly greater improvements than ONL group. The percentage of improvementranged from 13% to 223% for INL group versus 8% to 158% for ONL group.CONCLUSION: We conclude that in‑person basketball learning was better than online learningbasketball. Therefore, teachers and trainers must rely primarily on in‑person learning and not relyon distance learning, especially with regard to learning motor skills, except in emergency cases.
