The primary purpose of the present research study was to examine the use of
different frequencies of PETTLEP imagery trainings on shooting performance of
Archers over a period of two weeks. Participants (n=160) invited from Clubs,
Colleges, Universities, Academies and Departments: with a gender ratio of 90:70
for male and female respectively. The sample was randomly divided into four
groups with 40 participants in each: PETTLEP Imagery Practice twice per week
(2x/wk), PETTLEP Imagery Practice four times per week (4x/wk) and PETTLEP
Imagery Practice six times per week (6x/wk) and a control group. During the pretest and post-test, participants were required to complete a total of 3 rounds
comprising five shots in each round (total of 15 shots on target) from a distance of
30 meters with 10 minutes rest in between each round. The maximum possible
score was 150 points and 10 points were awarded if the bull’s eye was hit. The
standard Archery equipment was used with Hoyt/Fivics complete recurve Bow
weighing 38-40 lbs, and Easton Carbon One arrows. Following the pre-test, each
participant imagined twenty shots per practice session with frequency of sessions
per week as per group confines. The control group only completed some archery
specific stretching exercises. SPSS 21 was used for data analysis. Paired sample t
test was used to identify the significant differences between pre and post-test
scores of Archers and it showed that all three intervention groups improved
significantly (p<.05) after intervention, with 6x/wk group showing the most
improvement with an average improvement value of 31.01 (58.42%, followed by
17.74 (33.25%) for 4x/wk and 13.66 (25.86%) for 2x/wk. The control group
showed an overall decline in performance by 8.96%. Results extend prior research
findings to authenticate that PETTLEP Imagery practice has a substantial impact
on improving skill precision levels of players. Our current findings suggest that if
the frequency of practice is set to at least 6 times x per week, the improvement in
performance will be the highest. However; there is room for further research to investigate and determine the optimum number of practice sessions in a fixed
period of time
