Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the Semi-empirical study was to investigate the effect of mental imagery PETTLEP (Constant and variable) on kinesthesia in basketball free throw.
Methods: The targeted 75 patients with a score of 45-55 imagery and had no history of basketball free throw were selected and were divided in 5 groups, each of 15; control, mental imagery PETTLEP Constant, group mental imagery PETTLEP Constant combined with physical exercise Constant, group imagery PETTLEP of the variable, group mental imagery PETTLEP variable combined with physical exercise variables. To collect data was used in the Movement Imagery Questionnaire – Revised (MIQ-R), angle adjustment Test, and force control Test top hand. Exercise protocol, eight sessions were conducted for eight days. At the end, taken post-test. After Data normality and equality of variances, the result have been surveyed by analysis of variance, Tukey test.
Results: The results of hypothesis declared that there is a significant difference between practice groups in Components kinesthesia. Results showed that groups imagery PETTLEP of the variable Was Reduce kinesthesia errors to groups mental imagery PETTLEP Constant.
Conclusion: According to the findings of this study suggested that imagery PETTLEP of the variable used along with exercise variables for Reduce kinesthesia errors.
