“…This is in agreement with a number of studies [49,50], which demonstrated that physical fatigue affects the creation of mental images, which could have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the motor imaging training program for swimmers. In contrast, other studies have shown beneficial effects of motor imaging training either after or during physical training sessions [12,17,27,28].…”

“…This study adopted a specific cognitive imagery training, in which athletes were asked to imagine themselves while performing tennis service, in agreement with a previous study [17]. The method adopted was the following: (a) the athlete was asked to imagine a first-person situation; (b) the athlete was asked to imagine the task performed at speeds close to reality, with actions interspersed by an interval of about ten seconds (c) the athlete was asked to imagine positive situations during a competition; and, finally, (d) the athlete was asked to reproduce emotions (including anxiety and mood) similar to those felt during competitions [27,28].…”

Effects of Motor Mental Imagery Training on Tennis Service Performance during the Ramadan Fasting: A Randomized, Controlled Trial

The objective of the present study is to analyze the effects 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 × 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 × precision)), with improvement only in IMG (p = 0.01). The results showed that motor imagery training could be an effective strategy for mitigating/counteracting the negative effects of Ramadan on the tennis service performance.

“…Recently, a growing number of studies have started to investigate the effects of MST on elite youth athletes (e.g., Fortes et al, 2018;Fournier, Calmels, Durand-Bush, & Salmela, 2005;Ong & Griva, 2017;Sharp, Woodcock, Holland, Cumming, & Duda, 2013). For example, Fournier et al (2005) evaluated the effects of a 10-month MST program on the performance of 10 nationally ranked youth female gymnasts (Mage = 12).…”

Informed by athletes' psychological needs, the current qualitative study developed, implemented, and evaluated a 15-month mental skills training (MST) program for elite youth athletes. The MST was divided into three phases that included a nine-month pre-intervention, a two-month intervention, and a four-month evaluation phase. The intervention consisted of three interactive workshops which were delivered to 11 competitive British youth tennis players (aged 8 to 15 years) and their coach (age = 34). The intervention was informed by data that was collected throughout a nine-month pre-intervention phase including longitudinal observations, field notes, and semi-structured interviews. The intervention was evaluated over a four-month period through observations, field notes, athlete-workshop data, and a semi-structured interview with the coach. Results reinforced the value of the longitudinal pre-intervention phase by highlighting that the establishment of rapport between the researcher and athletes enhanced the meaningfulness and content of the MST program. Additionally, an increase in athletes' use and regulation of PSCs was identified as a result of athletes' improved understanding of psychological skills (i.e., self-talk, imagery, performance routines) and characteristics (i.e., focus, emotional control) (PSCs). Finally, the MST program fostered a shared subject specific language between athletes and their coach, enhancing the openness and frequency with which PSCs were talked about. Practical guidelines for future sport psychology interventions with youth athletes and their coaches are provided. Lay Summary: A 15-month mental skills training program was conducted with youth tennis players to enhance their ability to regulate their focus and emotional control. Practical guidelines for future interventions with youth athletes and their coaches are provided.

“…: Teor. e Pesq., Brasília, 2019, v. 35, e3538 LS Fortes, L Fiorese, JRA Nascimento-Júnior, SS Almeida, & MEC Ferreira O voleibol é um esporte coletivo do tipo intermitente, caracterizado pela imprevisibilidade (Costa et al, 2016;Fortes et al, 2018). A chave para se obter sucesso nessa modalidade concerne na escolha da melhor decisão ("o que fazer"), adotando a técnica correta ("como fazer") em um pequeno espaço de tempo e de forma acurada (Lopes, Magalhães, Diniz, Moreira, & Albuquerque, 2016).…”

“…Além disso, destaca-se que a ação motora também pode influenciar no resultado da tomada de decisão (Lopes et al, 2016), principalmente em atletas amadores. Normalmente o componente cognitivo da tomada de decisão ("o que fazer") de atletas é avaliado por meio de vídeos, os quais simulam situações que acontecem em um jogo (Fortes et al, 2018). Este tipo de análise é conhecido como "conhecimento tático declarativo" (Matias & Greco, 2011).…”

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi analisar o efeito da ansiedade competitiva sobre a tomada de decisão de jovens atletas de voleibol. A amostra foi composta por 24 voluntários do sexo masculino (16,06 ±0,65 anos). Utilizou-se a versão brasileira do Competitite State Anxiety Inventory para avaliar a ansiedade competitiva. A tomada de decisão foi avaliada em situação real de jogo, adotando-se os critérios do Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI). Localizaram-se correlações negativas da ansiedade cognitiva e ansiedade somática com o índice de tomada de decisão (p<0,05). Revelaram-se correlações positivas entre a “autoconfiança” e o índice de tomada de decisão (p<0,05). Revelou-se influência da ansiedade cognitiva, somática e autoconfiança no índice de tomada de decisão (p<0,05). Concluiu-se que a ansiedade pode ser considerada um fator interveniente na tomada de decisão.
