RESUMO

The goal setting has been seen as motivational strategy used to improve the performance maintaining and directing attention to a specific objective to be reached and it can also be set for either a person or a group. The aim of this study is was to investigate the effects of the level of difficulty groups goal in motor learning with skillful persons. The sample consisted of 24 males with age from 15 to 16 years old, with experience in the used task. The used task was the Volleyball rotation serving reception. The volunteers were organized by random designation in two experimental groups with a specific goal to 10% (G10%) and to 30% (G30%), besides the initial performance. The experiment consisted of three stages: entrance test (27 attempts), acquisition phase (810 attempts) and retention test (27 attempts) a week after the acquisition phase ending. The results of the precision and consistence measurements showed significant differences between G10% and G30% during acquisition phase, in which G30% showed better performance and smaller variability than G10%. During the retention test only the precision measurement showed significant effect, in which both groups become more accurate and G30% score was higher than G10% as well. In conclusion, although the two groups showed performance increment the 30% on groups goal percentile influenced on a significant way and was superior on the learning task. Moreover, the results confirmed the hypothesis 2 of LOCKE and LATHAM (1985), that for quantitative vii goals (specifics), the higher the goal, the better the performance, admitting enough capacity and commitment.
