Abstract

This field study examined the influence of a pre-game imagery intervention implemented by a high school coach on the free throw shooting performance of his girls' basketball team. The coach conducted a systematic guided imagery exercise prior to half of the team's games over the course of an entire season. The coach employed the intervention with the whole team using a reversal design similar to the replication-reversal design used in some single-subject research (Hume, Martin, Gonzalez, Cracklen, & Genthon, 1985). A 2 x 2 chi-square analysis was used to evaluate the observed and expected frequencies of made and missed free throw shots under the two conditions (imagery and no-imagery). The results revealed a significantly higher than expected number of free throws made in games preceded by the intervention (p < .001). Social validation questionnaires completed by 11 of the 16 players suggested that the players devoted significant attention to the intervention and that they perceived it to be effective.

赛前意象对篮球罚球命中率影响的现场试验

本研究考察了一名高中教练在赛前意象干预下对女子篮球队罚球表现的影响。在整个赛季中，教练在球队一半的比赛前进行了系统的引导意象练习。教练采用与一些单受试者研究中使用的复制逆转设计相似的逆转设计对整个团队进行干预(Hume, Martin, Gonzalez, Cracklen， & Genthon, 1985)。采用2 x 2卡方分析来评估两种情况下(图像和无图像)罚球投中和失球的观察频率和预期频率。结果显示，在干预前的比赛中，罚球次数明显高于预期(p < 0.001)。16名参与者中有11名完成了社会验证问卷，这表明参与者对干预非常关注，并且他们认为干预是有效的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is the first peer-reviewed journal devoted to research on the role of imagery in sport, physical activity, exercise, and rehabilitation settings. Imagery, also referred to as cognitive enactment or visualization, is one of the most popular performance enhancement and rehabilitation techniques in sports and physical activity. Journal editors Craig Hall (University of Western Ontario) and Sandra Short (University of North Dakota) are recognized leaders in the field, and the journal’s editorial board represents leading institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The single destination for all imagery-related research in sports and in physical activity, the Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners of imagery, sports science, kinesiology, physical education, and psychology Criteria for publication will include: - Outstanding quality; likely to be widely read and highly cited; - Relevance to the area; - Contribution to the advancement of imagery research; - Interest to specialists in the field and accessible to researchers with interests outside the immediate topic of the paper; - Readability and presentation.
