Abstract
This research aimed to investigate and compare the effects of woodball shooting program training in conjunction with imagery training on the shooting accuracy of woodball players during pre-training, after the 4th training week, and after the 8th training week. The participants were 30 woodball players, aged between 14-16 years old, who were representatives of the athletes participating in the Krabi Games in 2022, using a simple random sampling technique by pairing method. They were assigned to either the control group (n=15), trained according to the normal woodball shooting training program, or the experimental group (n= 15), trained according to an imagery program in conjunction with a normal woodball shooting training program. Statistical data analysis consisted of mean, standard deviation, t-test, repeated ANOVA, and pairwise comparison with LSD. The findings revealed that there was no significant difference in woodball shooting accuracy between the experimental and control groups during pre-training, and 2) statistically significant differences in woodball shooting accuracy were found between the two groups after the 4th training week and after the 8th training week at a significance level of .05. In conclusion, imagery training in conjunction with the woodball shooting program results in the most effective woodball shooting accuracy.
