ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether individualized practice and training in visuo-motor behavior rehearsal (VMBR) is more effective in improving karate performance than a placebo control practice and training condition (memorizing Chinese proverbs and writings). Subjects were composed of 18 male and 26 female students from two karate classes with one class serving as the VMBR training group and the other as the placebo control training group. During the first session of the class (which met twice a week for 16 weeks) each subject was individually provided with a detailed description of their specific cognitive strategy including handouts and manipulation checks to use for practice at home. In addition to their home practice, subjects were provided with individual training during each karate class period with modifications made in their strategy when appropriate. Results for the state anxiety and high activation scales showed that the VMBR group exhibited significantly greater decreases in both state anxiety and activation over time than the placebo group. Performance results indicated that the VMBR group displayed greater levels of improvement over time than the placebo control group for three measures of karate performance (i.e., skill, combinations and sparring). Investigates whether individualized practice and training in visuo-motor behavior rehearsal (VMBR) is more effective in improving karate performance than a placebo control practice and training condition. Uses students (n=44) from two karate classes. Finds that the VMBR group shows significantly greater decreases in state anxiety and activation and greater levels of performance improvement over time than the placebo control group. Discusses results in terms of the arousal-performance relationship and the importance of individualized training in utilizing cognitive intervention techniques.
