Abstract:
A coordinated approach for sorting-out obstacles faced by athletes in games
especially team games, is the need of the hour. Most of the times only explanation
of rules and regulation works as a coordinated approach. But mental practices and
imaging or pre-visualization exercises works as a dominant factor during game
situation because it provides way to sort-out one game situation through different
playing styles. This study was carried out on 25 male subjects, ranging in age
group from 21 to 25 years. A tactical understanding and coordinative approach on
the side of mental training have been looked upon. A Questionnaire consisting of
21 questions has been employed to know to what extent the subject was affected
by the above technique. This questionnaire assessed the perception contents of
Athletes, i. e., imaging, visual, tactical outcome during play, Muscle Memory,
Creativity, etc. Simultaneously, a personal interview test was conducted with
respondents. The Data was analyzed by using t-test. The results revealed that
minimum score of pre-test was 29 and maximum score was 89. Result of the posttest
i.e. minimum score 34 and maximum score 95. Improvement occurs when it
was informed to athletes about orientation towards goal as arousal awaken their
visualization contents and it has more enhanced when added with some
interesting and creative activities. Thus above statistical result reveals that
perceptional sports contents get significant improvements as a result of mental
imaging technique. There was a significant difference between pre and post results
within group. In game situation, self-criticalness of intelligence may become cause
of victory as one acquire to reason and judge well.
