Abstract
Imagination is a quite common part of top white-water canoeists’ training. The aim of the study was to try to find the dependence between the image length of competition performance and the follow-up length of the real competition run and outline a structure of the images. The observed sample consisted of 30 competitors of three different performance levels and three competition categories. The authors have observed the relationship between the real time needed for canoeing the course and the time necessary for the imaginary run. The results at the sample support the conclusion that there is a quite strong relationship between imagination and competitor’s performance in white-water slalom. To find out to what extent it is possible to influence the competition performance by increasing the quality of imagination, it is necessary to do further research. Verf.-Referat (geändert)
