The research instruments included a test of 10-meter airsoft rifle shooting accuracy according to the competition rules of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) and an imagery exercise according to Sombat Kanchanakit and Somying Chantruthai. Statistical data analysis consisted of mean, standard deviation, one-way analysis of variance with repeated measures, and Bonferroni test.
The results showed that the highest mean values regarding the effects of imagery training on shooting accuracy with the 10-meter air rifle among sport shooters were found after the 8th week of training, followed by the 4th week of training, and before training, respectively. The mean values of the one-way analysis of variance before training, after the 4th, and 8th weeks of training were different at a significance level of .05. Mean values according to Bonferroni's multiple comparisons before training, after the 4th and 8th weeks of training differed at a significance level of .05.
