The purpose of this study was to determine three following
analyese (1) To determine if there is any specific(EMG) effect
on different body parts of an imager through the psychological
process of internal and external imagery perspective. (2) To
determine if the imagers are under a relaxation state during
the internal and external imagery perspective. (3) To determine
the effect of "Self-Suggestion relaxa- tion method" on an
imager''s physical state. Advanced, (N=12) male handball
students from secondary school teams were randomly assigned to
this study. All of them had been professional trained for over
three months and their imagery vividness were above aver- age
level. This study was using Within-Design, so all the
participants have to go through four differ- ent periodic
tests; (a) the baseline of pre-relaxa- tion . (b) the baseline
of after-relaxation. (c) the imagery perspective of internal or
external. (d) the imagery perspective of external or internal.
The instruments used for this four tests were based on
Autogenic System-Biofeedback (two EMG modules; skin temperature
and qalvanic skin response) and Dynaprog 527. One way ANOVA
analysis two way ANOVA analysis were used as data and statistic
analysis for this study. After all the tests we found: the
baselines of the participants galvanic skin response and skin
tem- perature were significantly higher and habitual hand''s EMG
effect was lower after self-suggestion relaxation than berore(
P<0.5) ,and the baseline of middle deltoid''s EMG was obviously
higher during the internal imagery perspective than before/
after relaxation and external imagery prospective(p<0.5); the
EMG (P<0.5) of habitual hand''s middle deltoid in internal
imagery was signifi- cantly higher than un-habitual hand in
internal imagery and habitual hand in external imagery (p<0.5).
