| Abstract | The resumption of skilled performance following a period of no practice is often characterized by motor activity of a lower quality than that demonstrated prior to the rest period. This phenomenon, termed warm-up decrement, is usually brief, lasting for only a few trials or minutes of postrest practice. This study attempted to determine the effect of cognitive and behavioral warm-up activities on immediate and delayed postrest warm-up decrement in a softball batting task. It was predicted that practice immediately prior to postrest performance of a task having the same activity set as the criterion task should eliminate warm-up decrement on the criterion task. In addition, it was expected that warm-up decrement would be reduced or eliminated for subjects engaging in relevant task imagery or in physiologically arousing activity at the end of the rest interval. Subjects were 40 female softball players, all judged to be very good batters. All subjects were administered Nideffer's Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Style and a Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (Marks, 1973). The experiment involved four stages: (1) 20 pretest batting trials; (2) 10 minutes of rest and reading followed by 5 minutes of a specified warm-up activity; (3) 10 batting trials; and (4) a 5-minute warm-up and 10 batting trials six months later. The results suggest support for the expected outcomes. (MT) |
