“…Such studies have found PETTLEPbased interventions to be the more effective (Potter, Devonport & Lane, 2005;Smith, Wright, Allsopp & Westhead, 2007;, using tasks such as the hockey penalty flick, the long jump, a gymnastics jump and a strength task (bicep curl). In addition, Wright, Smith and Cantwell (2008) found that when very experienced (international and county level) amateur golfers replaced some of their physical practice of bunker shots with PETTLEP imagery, their performance improved more than that of golfers who continued with their full quota of physical practice of bunker shots.…”

Motor imagery, or the mental rehearsal of actions in the absence of physical movement, is an increasingly popular construct in fields such as neuroscience, cognitive psychology and sport psychology. Unfortunately, few models of motor imagery have been postulated to date.Nevertheless, based on the hypothesis of functional equivalence between imagery, perception and motor execution, Holmes and Collins (2001) developed the PETTLEP model of motor imagery in an effort to provide evidence-based guidelines for imagery practice in sport psychology. Given recent advances in theoretical understanding of functional equivalence, however, it is important to provide a contemporary critical reflection on motor imagery research conducted using this model. The present paper addresses this objective. We begin by explaining the background to the development of the PETTLEP model. After that, we evaluate key issues and findings in PETTLEP-inspired research. Finally, we offer suggestions for, and new directions in, research in this field.

“…The first involved amending the original script through a series of intermittent consultations with the participants, who were asked if they would like to make any additions or modifications to enhance the imagery experience and the individual meaning of the imagery (i.e. Smith, Wright, & Cantwell, 2008;Shearer, Mellalieu, Thomson, & Shearer, 2008).…”

“…Previous research suggests that an increased use of PETTLEP elements maximises the success of an imagery intervention (Smith et al, 2007(Smith et al, , 2008Wright & Smith, 2009). Thus, Smith (2011) advises that for maximum benefit, the PETTLEP model should be integrated as a whole, rather than in part.…”

Imagery studies have varied widely in the methods used to deliver guided imagery interventions. This variation has led to difficulties comparing studies and uncertainty as to what methods should be followed. A review is needed to evaluate the interventions to date to inform applied recommendations. The aim of this systematic review was to (1) assess the quality of intervention design, (2) investigate the extent to which interventions vary, (3) highlight the different methods that should be considered in the design and implementation of future interventions, and (4) investigate adherence to some of the current theories and models of imagery use. A total of 20 interventions administered between the years 2001 and 2011 were compared over 17 main areas, including imagery ability, duration, script development, delivery method, and adherence to the PETTLEP model and the bio-informational theory. The results of this review found evidence of many inconsistencies between interventions and demonstrate a need for more comprehensive practical guidelines. Recommend-ations are offered for the design of future interventions, including increasing imagery practice time and the use of personalised imagery scripts. Numerous questions are raised to strengthen and direct future research such as the need for continued modification of scripts throughout an intervention.

“…Other studies analyze the outcome from a mathematical perspective with a specific parametric analysis of distances and angles of the movements, e.g. in golf (Smith et al, 2008) and high jump (Olsson et al, 2008). A small number of researches in sport assess the final score of the movement or the number of successful attempts (Peynircioglu et al, 2000;Ploszay et al, 2006).…”

Previous research in sport psychology and rehabilitation suggests that training with motor imagery (mental practice) is a potentially effective strategy to improve motor performance. The goal of the present study was to investigate the benefits of combining mental and physical training in learning a complex motor skill in basketball (the lay-up shot). To this end, sixty female university students were randomly assigned to either mental practice with physical training, or physical training alone. Motor performance was assessed before and after a four-week training period. To assess motor learning performance, a video analysis was carried out by three independent raters on the motor task before and after the training in both conditions. Results showed that mental practice condition improved coordination and movement accuracy, suggesting the potential effectiveness of this approach in training complex motor skills; furthermore, findings indicate the feasibility and accuracy of using video-based analysis of movement in the assessment of motor performance improvements.
