The Evasion test (M=17.50±25.67) also showed a positive but insignificant improvement from pre- to post-test for the experimental group. The control group did not show any statistically significant improvements from pre- to post-test except in the case of Hart Chart (M=3.00±2.16) and Accumulator (M=2.40±2.55). Overall the experimental group produced significantly larger (p<0.05, d>0.20) pre- to post-test mean differences than the control group for six of the seven tests implemented. The Ball Toss test which was one of three hand-eye coordination tests did not show any significant differences between experimental and control groups even though the experimental group produced larger improvements. The other two tests that assessed hand-eye coordination (Accumulator and Corner Stretch) did, however reflect significant improvements for the experimental group. The findings of this study therefore revealed that improvements in visual skill performance of cricket players can be achieved through specific training.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 22:27:40 SAST ]]> Environmental management of wetlands on an urban periphery: the case of Bay West https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31183 0.70). There was significant difference in pH in the year 2017 between the Bay West wetlands and the reference wetland (p<0.05; df=19; f= 3.56; n=3) and in 2018 (p<0.01; df=22; f= 8.90; n=3). No significant difference was found between the wetlands for dissolved oxygen. TDS between the wetlands was found to be significantly different in the year 2017 (p<0.01; df=23; f= 44.16; n=3) and 2018 (p<0.05; df=22; f=2.62; n=3), where conductivity and salinity returned the same p value for 2017 and 2018 as TDS respectively. There was a significant difference in chlorophyll a between the Bay West wetlands in 2017 (p<0.05; df=20; f=3.29; n=3) and Wetland Seven measured eutrophic at 22.45 mg/L-1. Remote sensing red band values and the field sample absorption values were highly correlated at R2= 0.5. Chlorophyll a content of wetland water correlated with NDVI data at R2= 0.6. Thus, remote sensing proved to be a successful estimator for wetlands health analysis and a proxy for wetland management. These results yielded an environmental management plan where monitoring water quality via chlorophyll a indicated health levels of the wetlands via trophic state.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 20:22:00 SAST ]]> Financial inclusion in South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:27240 Wed 12 May 2021 19:27:37 SAST ]]> Factors affecting consumer behaviour in a black box products in South Africa: particularly in the telematics industry https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:36881 Wed 12 May 2021 18:25:07 SAST ]]> Investigating strategies to improve reading levels of learners in an Eastern Cape community https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:20608 Wed 12 May 2021 17:11:34 SAST ]]> The impact of multi-skilling training on the paintshop production environment and its employees at Volkswagen South Africa (VWSA) https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10852 Thu 13 May 2021 08:17:50 SAST ]]> An investigation into employee empowerment strategies for Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9344 Thu 13 May 2021 03:18:48 SAST ]]> Development of a theoretical model of integrated reporting for Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed companies https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26903 Thu 13 May 2021 00:34:52 SAST ]]>
