Statement of Problem

The purpose of the present study was to determine if two schedules of mental practice frequency (one-a-day or five-a-day), independent of any physical practice, will significantly improve performance of a gross motor skill task in comparison to a control. Additionally, the purpose was to determine if one of the two schedules of mental practice improves task performance to a greater extent than the other.
