Effect of Motor Mental Imagery Training on Tennis Service Performance during Ramadan: a Randomized and Controlled Trial |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
The objective of the study is to analyze the effect of motor mental imagery training on tennis service performance among tennis athletes who fast during Ramadan. Participants were 38 young male tennis players, randomly divided into two groups: Imaging Training (IMG, n = 18) and control group (CG, n = 20). The CG has watched videos on the history of the Olympic Games, while IMG has followed a training program in motor imagery. The performance of the tennis service was obtained by the product between accuracy and speed of typing [accuracy x average speed of all shots (km / h)]. The effect of group / time interaction (p <0.01) was identified for all performance indicators [accuracy, running speed and performance (speed x precision)], with improvement only in IMG (p = .01). The results showed that motor imagery training could be an effective strategy for delineating the negative effects of Ramadan on the performance of tennis services. |
