Abstract
Aim: Imagery is a cognitive process that can play an important role in the planning and execution of movements and actions and in many cases it can be used as a tool for learning skills and retraining movements. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different speeds of mental imagery on basketball dribbling performance in the girl student. Method: the research method was semi-experimental which was performed with pretest-posttest design. 40 female students of Shahid Chamran University with average of age 22±1/12 years were selected by purposive sampling and assigned in four groups (low-speed imagery, real-peed imagery, rapid-speed imagery and control without imagery group). After performance dribbling basketball in a pretest, the subjects of experimental groups performed four consecutive days of imagery and then performed dribbling basketball. The results showed that all groups improved in their performance except control group (p≤0/05). But with regard to the effect size, the best performance belong to the low-speed imagery and real-peed imagery group. Conclusion: so it can be said that it is better to use low-speed imagery and real-peed imagery when learning a new task and in the novice.
