本研究主要是探討心智練習對網球發球技能學習之影響。研究對象是以大學體育選修網球課男女學生共100位，皆從未接受過網球訓練經驗和心智練習的學生，平均身高167.3±9.72公分，平均體重58.3±12.76公斤，平均年齡19.8±1.95歲。以隨機分派的方式平均分配到控制組、心智組、身體組和綜合組，並施以四週，每週3次，每次30分鐘的實驗操作，並於實驗開始前、結束後與結束後3天實行前測、後測與保留測驗，藉以了解學生運用心智練習後的網球發球學習狀況。研究所得之資料以多變項共變數分析來檢定，以α=.05為顯著水準，若達顯著性差異便以事後比較再次檢驗之。本研究得到以下二點結論：一、心智練習有益於網球發球技能學習與保留；二、在身體練習介入下，心智練習的功效會較大；心智練習有益於初學者學習網球發球技能之學習。
The aims of this study was to discuss the effect of mental practice on tennis serve skill performance. There are 100 subjects (average height=167.3±9.72cm average weight=58.3±12.76kg average age=19.8±1.95yr) drawn from univ P.E class, and they never accepted any training of tennis skill before. They were assigned randomly into four groups, namely control practice group, physical practice group, mental practice group, and multipform practice. The experimental practice had lasted for four weeks and triple a week. The main tests of this study includes the forward test, backtest, and three-day test. they were used for estimating the subject's learning effect. The outcomes are analyzed with multi-way ANCOVA analysis. There are two points as following: 1. The mental practice benefits to the tennis serve skill performance and retetion. 2. The mental practice will have more effect on tennis serve with the body practice. 3. The mental practice benefits to the primary learner for learning tennis serve skill.
