Deliberate Imagery Practice: The Development of Imagery Skills in Competitive Athletes
Researchers at the School of Kinesiology of The University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, surveyed the attitudes of competing athletes on the importance of using imagery as part of their sports practice. Altogether, 159 athletes from one of three different competitive standards - recreational, provincial and national - completed the Deliberate Imagery Practice Questionnaire, designed to assess their perceptions of the importance of imagery.
The results indicated that national athletes perceived imagery to be more relevant to performing than recreational athletes. In addition, athletes of a higher standard (i.e. provincial and national) reported using more imagery in a recent, typical week and that they had accumulated significantly more hours of imagery practice across their athletic career than recreational athletes.
