不同背景變項桌球選手意象型態之比較研究

目的：文獻指出意象型態可提升競賽表現，但很少研究探討其與選手背景變項的關聯，所以本研究目的在比較不同背景變項在意象型態的差異。方法：以便利抽樣法自2010年全國大專院校運動會桌球競賽選取共226位選手為研究對象，平均年齡21.05（SD=2.38）歲；讓其填寫問卷後，將所得資料以單因子多變量變異數分析處理。結果：性別、球齡、賽齡、最佳成績在意象型態的差異達顯著水準，男選手、參與訓練及比賽時間超過7年、曾獲得全國賽名次者有較高意象型態使用頻率。結論：意象型態與選手背景因素有關，教練應就性別、球齡、賽齡、最佳成績擬訂個人化的訓練內容。

Purpose: The literature have pointed out that the imagery patterns can improve athletic performance, but little research put emphasis on its association with the background variables. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the differences of imagery patterns on background variables. Methods: Convenience sampling was adopted to select the completion of structured questionnaire to fill a total of 226 table-tennis players from 2010 National Intercollegiate Athlete Game, and the average age was 21.05 years old (SD=2.38). All of collected data would be analyzed by one-way MONOVA. Results: There were significant differences of imagery patterns in gender, training time, competitive experience, and the best competition results. For male players and those who had participated in training and competition for more than 7 years and won national championships, a higher frequency of use of image patterns was showed. Conclusions: The use of imagery patterns is associated with the background variables in table-tennis players, coaches need to develop personal imagery content by considering gender, training time, competitive experience, and athletic achievement.
