Abstract

Objective To develop and design the imagery training program, according with the nature of swimming and taking into account with the mental characteristics and individual needs of the disabled. Methods According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the orientation function of the blind swimming athletes and the orientation function of the body position and the image training were analyzed theoretically. Imagery training was used as the independent variable, and the specific role of imagery training in improving athletic performance is observed in the imagery training intervention of the outstanding blind Olympic swimmer Li. Results and Conclusion Imagery training was an effective method for the blind swimmer to establish the orientation direction and body position function, and it can help the blind swimmer keep a straight line, reduce dependence on touch lane, and improve the performance.
