Assessment of Integrating Mental and Physical Training for Skill Acquisition in Football

Abstract

Mental imagery is an essential element in the human movement system. Research in the sports psychology literature shows that training with motor imagery (mental practice) is an effective strategy for improving motor performance in planning and executing goal-directed movements. The primary objective of this study is to explore the impacts of integrating mental and physical training on the acquisition of a demanding football motor skill, specifically the "head kick." A total of 40 participants, consisting of 18 women and 22 men, who were students from the Physical Education & Sports department at Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University, were randomly divided into two groups: one group receiving combined physical education and mental practice, and the other group solely undergoing physical education training. The Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire–2 (VMIQ-2; Roberts et al., 2008) and video analysis procedure were used in this study. Based on the research problem, the Repeated Measure ANOVA test was used. Motor skill performance was assessed both before and after an eight-week training period. To gauge improvements in motor skill acquisition, three independent expert evaluators analyzed video recordings of the motor task before and after training in both situations. The findings highlighted that engaging in mental imagery exercises improved timing and coordination, emphasizing the potential effectiveness of this intervention for enhancing proficiency in intricate motor skills. These study findings also illustrate the practicality and precision of employing video-based motion analysis to gauge enhancements in motor performance.
