Does model type influence the effectiveness of combined action observation and motor imagery training for novices learning an Ankle Pick takedown?
Collectively, the largely null findings (<i>n</i> = 13, 92.86%) suggest that physical practice has the strongest influence on motor adaptations for this complex motor skill at these early stages of learning. However, the findings also suggest model type may be an important factor for novices using AOMI training. It is recommended that future research explores alternative modeling approaches, such as mixed-modeling incorporating both self- and other- footage, when designing AOMI interventions for sport.
