The aim of this study is to examine the
impact of cognitive-based learning and imagery training on
basic tennis skills to students who take elective tennis
course.16 volunteers who take elective tennis course took
part in the research. Control and experiment groups are
formed by dividing volunteers into two equal groups.
Control group (n=8) and experiment group (n=8) have only
attended the tennis course and at the end of the first week
"Hewitt" test is applied to both groups. After the test is
applied both groups continued to attend tennis courses
regularly for 8 weeks. Cognitive learning and imagery
training is applied on the experimental group (PCG) in
addition to their tennis lessons 2 periods of 30 minutes for 2
times per week, control group (PG), on the other hand, only
continued the tennis training. At the end of 8th week of
tennis courses, “Hewitt” test is applied once more to the
control and experiment group. Acquired data is statistically
analysed with IBM SPSS 20 package program. In order to
compare the acquired between groups, Independent ‘t’
test, in groups Paired Sample T test is used. As a result
analyzes, although there is no logical difference between
control group and experiment group in pre-test scores,
logical differences are determined in post-test scores
(p<0.05). While no logical difference is determined in the
pre-test and post-test comparison in control group, logical
differences are determined in the pre-test and post-test
comparison in experiment group (p<0.05).As a result, it is
found that cognitive-based learning and imagery training
that applied to students has important impacts on basic
tennis skills. According to these results, it is that
cognitive-based learning and imagery training that applied
to students thought to be positive in the development of
basic tennis skills and may increase in athletic performance
and sporting succession.
