Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of motor imagery speeds on football dribbling among skilled players. To fulfill this purpose, 30 participants assigned in groups with fast speed, real speed imagery and control group without imagery. Participants are investigated in the term of ability in football dribbling and also imagery before assigning in groups. After pre test, 3 session of imagery training of football dribbling (30 trails in any session) are performed for football dribbling imagery. Retention test is performed after 3rd session of imagery training. The results of covariance showed significant difference among groups in dependence variable, so the fast speed imagery group have faster performance time in comparison the two other groups. Based on study results the assimilation effect in football dribbling of skilled players is proved. It seems that increasing imagery speed among skilled players is in accordance with their learning level and resulted to better performance.
