Abstract
The PURPOSE of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of autogenic training (progressive relaxation) and hypnosis on beginning tennis students’ ability to learn basic tennis skills. METHODS: Beginning tennis students in the two experimental groups were guided through progressive relaxation or hypnosis techniques. They were then read a set of tennis practice procedures and asked to imagine volleying the ball across the net. The control group was read the tennis practice procedure only. Both a pre-and a post-test of rallying a tennis ball for as many times possible in 3 minutes was measured for all three groups. RESULTS: No significant difference in tennis skills between students who were randomly assigned to a progressive relaxation, hypnosis, or a control group was found.
