Image Training combines Mental Rehearsal and Image Rehearsal, which could arouse human inner potential. In 2003, the researcher made teaching experiment on the 4th grade students in Taichung Jinn-Der Elementary School (29 students) in comparison with the control group (27 students). The experimental group made Image Training for only 25 times, 40 minutes for each time. The control group did other activities. The pretest and post-test grades of these two groups are examined and analyzed with Excel 97. The results are as follows: The experimental group made prominent improvement on their sit-up ability, p<.05, r=0.76, the reliability is quite dependable; The control group's sit-up ability improved a little, p>.05, the t value didn't reach prominent level, r=0.77, the reliability is dependable; The progress index and the progress student number of the experimental group are higher than those of the control group. So the Image Training is a quite effective education method. This research recommends that physical educators should make use of image training to arouse students' inner potential and enhance learning outcome.
