Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of imagery training and muscle relaxation on the accuracy of free-throw basketball of male bachelor-degree players. The samples in the research included 20 basketball players of Chiang Mai Rajabhat University Basketball Club, aged 19-22 years, studying in Academic Year 2013. The samples were divided into 2 groups: (1) the experimental group with imagery training and muscle relaxation together with common training and (2) the control group with only common training, 10 persons in each group. Times for imagery training and muscle relaxation of the experimental group were 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The tools used in the experiment were imagery training and muscle relaxation programs. The accuracy of free-throw basketball of both groups of samples was tested at pre-test and post-test at the 8th week and then the results were statistical analyzed to determine difference using t-test. The results revealed that for the experimental group with imagery training and muscle relaxation together with common training, the mean scores of the test of accuracy of free-throw basketball between pre-test and post-test were statistically significant difference at 0.1. For the control group with only common training, the mean scores of the test of accuracy of free-throw basketball between pre-test and post-test were not statistically significant difference. It could be concluded that the imagery training and muscle relaxation had a better impact on the improvement of accuracy of free-throw basketball skill than having only common training.
