Abstract
Enhancing e-Learning through understanding and taking into account the cognitive structures of learner and trainer in learning sports is a new avenue of research. E-Learning has made its steps into all disciplines, while sports domain remains a discipline that involves physiological variables in learning. Learning sport is incomplete until a learner is trained physically and is ready to actually play the sport. The curiosity to know how e-Learning methods can be utilized for learning sports has led the work to look into the learning theories. The behaviorist approach can be efficient at the initial level. The cognitive approach has been identified as an efficient approach in advanced level learning. Cognitive theory of learning also proposes feedback mechanism, contiguity, repetition, and reinforcement. This research is to explore the possibility of enhancing e-learning using cognitive theoretical approach in learning sports.
