THE effect of internal mental imagery exercises on shooting accuracy in foil fencing

Abstract

The research aimed to prepare exercises of internal mental perception in the accuracy of shooting fencing with a shish weapon, and to identify the effect of internal mental perception exercises on the accuracy of shooting with fencing with a shish weapon, And also to identify the significance of the differences between the two groups (experimental - control) in the post-tests in the performance of the accuracy of aiming with a shish weapon, As for the hypotheses of the research, the researcher imposed that there are statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests of the two groups (experimental - control) in the performance of the accuracy of correction with a shish weapon, and the researcher used the experimental approach in the style of two equivalent groups with pre- and post-tests for its suitability the nature of the research problem, The researcher identified the research community, which is represented by the players of Maysan youth clubs with shish weapons, which are (6) clubs, namely (architecture, oil, Kumait, Tigris, Citadel, Hungary) and registered with the lists of the sub-federation of fencing for Maysan Governorate, numbering (27) players, The sample was deliberately selected and they are the players of the club (architecture) and the number (6) players and their percentage represented (22.22%) of the research community, either the most important conclusions were that the exercises mental perception a positive impact in the development of accuracy correction when the experimental group, The most important recommendations were to emphasize the use of internal mental visualization exercises, which are an indicator for the development of achievement and to ensure the development of the level of technical performance of the stabbing movement, which in turn leads to the development of correction accuracy.
