Abstract
This study aimed to differentiate the brain wave activity between internal imagery and
external imagery of badminton shots, and execution of badminton shots. A total of 8
participants (N = 8) were recruited in this study. They were randomly assigned into
two groups: a) internal imagery group (n = 4) and b) external imagery group (n = 4),
in which all of the participants performed the badminton skills execution. All
participants obtained moderate to high scores in the Sport Imagery Ability Measure
SIAM) and are in good health as measured by the Physical Activity Readiness
Questionnaire. Participants wore the Muse headband while performing the badminton
shots and while performing imagery of the badminton shots. The brainwaves activity
was recorded and analysed. Results showed that internal imagery induced the highest
delta wave, whereas the execution of badminton shots induced the highest theta, alpha,
beta and gamma waves. However, the result was not statistically significant due to the
small sample size.
