Abstract
EFFECTS OF SOUND AIDED IMAGERY TRAINING ON PERFORMANCE SCORE, HEART RATE AND PERCEIVED STATE ANXIETY IN KELANTAN STATE BOWLING ATHLETES The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of 4-weeks sound-aided imagery intervention among state bowling athletes. The parameters observed were performance score, pre-performance heart rate and perceived state anxiety by using CSAI-2. It was well documented that imagery can significantly enhance the psychological state as well as skill performance (see Holmes & Simth, 2004 and Silbernagel er. a/, 2007). Through imagery, an athlete can construct pictures and scenes by recreating experiences or create experiences without receiving external stimuli or producing overt behavior. There are different ways in performing imagery where the most popular is using written script (Perry & Morris, 1995). However, written scripts are unlikely to create clear imagery whereas the use of audio was suggested can involve greater multinsensory during imagery (Hales, 1994 and Holmes and Collins, 2001). The subjects of this study comprised twelve state bowling athletes (mean age=l4.5±l.45). They were randomly divided into three groups; sound-aided group (VSI), verbal imagery group (VI) and control group (C). Intervention was supervised in experimental group three times per week before training session for four weeks. A competition was conducted during the post test and all parameters were collected 40 minutes before the game. Result from one-way ANOVA revealed that there was non-significant difference in all variables measured when comparing between the groups except for performance score. We concluded that this four weeks sound aided verbal imagery training did not bring a significant impact on the pre-competitive heart rate and perceived state anxiety although some values were observed to be slightly higher compared to control group. The present study formulated the use of audio and verbal approach in order to improve the efficacy of imagery given. Pre-competitive state anxiety was assessed since it is a common symptom in sport situation. It was reported that imagery may modify perception of anxiety a:nd thus aid perfonnance (Page et. a!, 1999). Theoretically, athletes should display low level of cognitive state anxiety and moderate level of somatic state anxiety for a good performance. Imagery also serves as predictors for cognitive and somatic anxiety through its motivational arousal construct. Imagery is an effective way to regulate the symptom of anxiety such as increased heart rate arid we think that detennining the effectiveness of the modality on this aspect is needed. On practical perspective, it is hope that this study will give the implication in implementing imagery intervention to improve the sport performance.
