Design and Effect Evaluation of the Performance of Specific Imagery Training Program: A Case Study of Free Throw

Concerning the blindness brought about by the traditional imagery training program and the limitations owing to the non-differentiation which means it is hard to show the performance change and motor imagery training, it is held that motor imagery training program should focus on the practical features of motor tasks, select the targeted imagery training content and continuously strengthen the athletes' corresponding motor imagery capability, thus to promote their performance. Based on the practical experience of imagery training, the targeted imagery training program (specific imagery training) based on a certain motor task (free throw) includes four stages:confirming the motor imagery training content, practicing imagery training, controlling the imagery training and evaluating the training results.The experiment found that the 4 training sessions could not fully reflect the difference between skill + whole imagery training and skill + specific imagery training (0.1).On the other hand, however, the 8 training sessions witnessed the difference of the two training in which the result reached the medium level (0.52), with a bigger effect (0.65) of the difference of the impact on specific sport imagery function (CS).The group of skill + specific imagery training has formed the imagery characteristics of free throw similar to that of elite athletes.It can be seen that specific imagery training contributes more to increasing the motor performance.
