Abstract

In this research meta-analysis was conducted on studies in the context of motor skills mental imagery with respect to moderating variables of gender and age. In this method, Analysis unit is taken of research. The research method included quantifying the effect size. For this, 40 researches investigating motor skills mental imagery were identified among which 26 relevant researches were studied. Independent t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results showed that gender and age had not significant effect of on motor skills imagery (P>0.05).  Gender and age as moderating variables had not significant effect on motor skills mental imagery. All groups could benefit from imagining ability. The findings of the present research confirm the results of previous studies supporting the effect of mental imagery on motor skills.
