Abstract

study was carried out with the aim of determining the effect of dynamic movement imagery on time appropriateness, learning and performance of soccer dribbling skills. The research method was semi-experimental and of pre-test, post-test and memory test design with a control group. For this purpose, 45 male students of Urmia University were purposefully selected based on the available sampling method and based on the entry criteria. Then, equal numbers were placed in three groups: physical exercise (control), static motor imagery (sMI) and dynamic motor imagery (dMI). The intervention was carried out for 12 sessions (4 sessions per week and 2 hours per session). The physical training group based on the protocol only practiced the dribbling skill physically, the static movement imagery group, after physically performing the skill, after a minute of relaxation, they engaged in mental imagery, and finally, the dynamic movement imagery group, after performing the dribbling skill physically and calmly They performed a one-minute standing while moving their legs on the spot were done with imagery, to evaluate the shooting skill, the Moore-Christian soccer shooting skill test was used, and to evaluate the motor imagery ability, the revised MIQ-R questionnaire was used.d. The results showed that the quality of the shot and the overall timing of MI is proportional to physical training, the increase in performance and learning of dMI compared to sMI was reported at a significant level and there is a positive correlation. This study supports the benefits of using dMI compared to sMI.
