Abstract
The purpose of this research was to compare mental and physical practice on acquisition of basketball free shot. Forty inexperienced boys were selected randomly by a revised questionnaire of motor imagery-making of Hall and Martin (1997). They were divided into 2 groups; an experimental group and a control one. Group one carried out the whole practice sessions practically. Group two carried out the whole sessions regarding to the mental practice being achieved as internal imagery. The results showed that the mental practices have significant impact on acquisition of basketball free shot.
Highlights
In spite of the mental exercises discovery and its effective methods in developing and recovering the motor learning, the new findings are being represented in this relation and various approaches of mental practices have been still developing in this regard
There have been carried out some researches about the influence of the mental imagery-making practices to facilitate the rate of learning of sport and motor skills; the application of the related process has not been recognized in sport skills yet
As it shown in findings of the research, the mental practices have significant impact on the acquisition of basketball free shot of the under study people with control group
Summary
In spite of the mental exercises discovery and its effective methods in developing and recovering the motor learning, the new findings are being represented in this relation and various approaches of mental practices have been still developing in this regard. Deriskll (2014) has shown that the mental practice is as effective as the practical practice in learning of motor skills. Another group emphasized that the role of mental practice in motor learning is lower than practical exercise (Dogan et al, 2014). There have been carried out some researches about the influence of the mental imagery-making practices to facilitate the rate of learning of sport and motor skills; the application of the related process has not been recognized in sport skills yet. The present study is to evaluate the practical practices and mental practices as an internal imagery-making case being achieved on the basketball free shot skill and performance.
