Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of ideokinetic imagery training on body posture. For this study 30 boys were randomly selected between the age of 15-18 years from Taxila Public School, Meerut of Uttar Pradesh and then the selected subjects were divided into two groups i.e. 15 as experimental group and 15 as control group. The New York state posture-rating test was used to analyze the posture of the subjects. After assessment of pre-test the experimental treatment selected imagery training was conducted for experimental group for 08 weeks and no training to control group. After the completion of eight weeks training programme the post-test (Posture Rating Test) was conducted. The ‘t’ test was used to find out the significant difference between pre-test and post-test of both experimental group and control group. On the basis of result it was concluded that ideokinetic imagery training programme was very much effective for improvement of the body posture especially in adolescence and eight weeks ideokinetic imagery training programme was sufficient for improvement in body postural profile.
