Abstract

The research aims to develop a proposed program for mental visualization for female taekwondo players from (16-19) to identify the effect of the proposed program on physiological responses represented in:

(pulse rate at the beginning and end of the effort, vital capacity vc, maximum oxygen consumption vo2max (.

The researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of the research using the experimental design with pre- and post-measurement for one group.

The research sample was deliberately selected from the players of the Egyptian Taekwondo team at the Egyptian Hunting Club in Giza Governorate for the age group 16-19 years, and the research sample included (9) players. The program was designed inside a training hall containing all the tools and devices necessary to implement the research.

g the proposed mental imagery program helped improve physiological variables and also led to improved performance within competitions for the research sample in some responses that were measured during the period of implementing the program. To improve the performance of female players during important competitions, all senses should be used during mental visualization training. One of the very important elements of mental training is visualization, that is, mental visualization training. It is used at every stage of the training process. The purpose of mental visualization training is to utilize human imagination in a way that programs the person's mind to perform a task in the best way. Taekwondo athletes need intense concentration and a high level of mental resistance
