Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do visualization and guided imagery enhance an athlete's performance? If so, how does this performance compare to that of an athlete who does not practice visualization and guided imagery? Past studies have shown proof of sports visualization exercises being beneficial to performance in sports. Though there is proof in these studies of positive effects, it is still not a common method implemented among athletes in training. Could this be because the effects are not reliable or valid? If the exercises are reliable, why are they not being implemented more among athletes? The purpose of this study is to provide more support that guided imagery and visualization are effective when used as a method to enhance sporting performance.

Download or read book Using a Motivational General mastery Imagery Intervention to Improve the Self efficacy of Youth Gymnasts written by Emily Parkerson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Context: Self-efficacy plays a significant role in influencing sport performance (Moritz, et al., 2000) and has been shown to be a stronger predictor of sport performance compared to anxiety, perceived control, and one's personal goals (Feltz & Lirg, 2001). The use of motivational general-mastery (MG-M) imagery has been shown to increase self-efficacy among athletic populations (O, et al., 2014); however, there is a paucity of research regarding the influence of imagery, particularly individualized MG-M imagery, on the self-efficacy of youth athletes specifically. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of an individualized MG-M imagery intervention on the self-efficacy and MG-M imagery use of youth gymnasts (Mage = 10.40). A single-subject, ABA design spanning seven total weeks was employed with five youth gymnasts who competed at a level six or above, as sanctioned by USA Gymnastics, and who had at least one year of competitive experience. Participants received individualized MG-M imagery scripts and engaged in guided imagery sessions along with independent imagery practice. Measures assessed athletes' MG-M imagery use, imagery ability, and self-efficacy specific to training. Visual inspection of the graphed data indicated improvements in self-efficacy from baseline through the intervention for one of the five participants. Effect sizes were also used to evaluate the magnitude of changes in mean and variability among phases. Both self-efficacy and imagery use scores decreased in variability, evidencing more stability from baseline to the intervention phase for two out of the five participants for self-efficacy and four of the five participants for imagery use. Implications from this study provide direction for practitioners and researchers regarding the development and implementation of MG-M imagery interventions in order to increase youth athletes' selfefficacy and imagery use.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present study was to explore the effects of a multiple script imagery intervention on athletes' task and coping self-efficacy during injury rehabilitation. A multiple baseline design was used to assess for changes in rehabilitation self-efficacy over time. After completing a baseline phase, five adult (Mage = 29.4; SD = 9.6), competitive athletes engaged in a single guided imagery session with the lead researcher. Afterwards, participants were given four imagery audio recordings pertaining to healing, rehabilitation process, motivational, and pain management, and were instructed to listen to them 4 times per week for a range of approximately 2 to 4 weeks with autonomy in choice of which recording they used. Through visual analysis of trendline data, one participant experienced an increase in task and coping self-efficacy during the treatment phase, three participants experienced stable task and coping self-efficacy during the baseline and treatment phases, and one participant experienced a decrease in task and coping self-efficacy during the treatment phase. Athletes chose healing imagery most often during their rehabilitation phase. Qualitative reports indicated that participants felt practicing imagery helped them view their injury and rehabilitation process more positively and increased their hope and confidence for a full return to sport. High baseline task and coping efficacy could indicate the imagery helped participants retain their high levels of rehabilitation efficacy throughout their treatment as it is a factor that normally declines over the course of treatment in athletes.

Download or read book Sports Hypnosis in Practice written by Joseph Tramontana and published by Crown House Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-10 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers new strategies and scripts for hypnotherapists, sports counsellors and sports psychologists working with athletes to help them achieve their peak performance. A major focus of the book is that the therapist does not necessarily need to be familiar with the sport or activity to serve as a "mental coach" to the athlete. The athlete is instructed that the goal is not to improve the mechanics of their performance (that is left up to their coaches) but, rather, to help them to relax, concentrate and focus so that they fulfill their maximum potential. They learn not to let the mental side of their game trip up the physical side, but rather to enhance it.
