The purposes of this study were to investigate the effect of visuo-motor behavior rehearsal on learning badminton forehand low serve in beginner; examining the physiological change during VMBR. Fifty-eight female students of Junior high school served as subjects in this study. The first session was devoted to teaching the basic mechanics of the badminton forehand low serve. During the following twelve sessions the subjects were radomly assigned to three groups: (1)physical practice group, repeated physical practice 10 times per session, (2)VMBR group, first took 15 minutes muscular progressive relaxation (audiotape) and then took 10 times VMBR practice after watching badminton forehand low serve per session, and (3)control group, took 30 minutes to read recreational magazine. Data was collected from performance of forehand low serve and the response of heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature and GSR during VMBR. One-way ANOVA and t-test were used to statistically analyzed the data obtained. Within the limitations of this study the following conclusions were derived : (1)After twelve sessions, the learning effect of VMBR group was as effective as those of physical practice on the low serve. (2)The physiological response showed the subjects were in relaxation state during VMBR.
