The two groups were determined randomly prior to all testing. Pretesting included a demographic profile, assessment of non-dominant leg kick distance, and completion of the Adolescent Dissociative Experience Scale (A-DES).

520 $a The two groups were determined randomly prior to all testing. Pretesting included a demographic profile, assessment of non-dominant leg kick distance, and completion of the Adolescent Dissociative Experience Scale (A-DES).
520 $a This study assessed the potential for absorptive capacity to serve as a mediating factor in the efficacy of imagery training for youth soccer players. The efficacy of imagery training for this group was also analyzed. In addition, the potential mediation effect of age and sex was also assessed.
520 $a The study featured a quasi experimental design incorporating two groups, pre and posttested, and employing a time series intervention. Participants (n = 40) were male and female youth soccer players participating in a suburban Philadelphia travel soccer program. Participants ranged from 9 to 16 years of age.
520 $a The treatment consisted of participant use of three audio-taped imagery training sessions. At the completion of each week, over a period of 3 weeks, a tape was returned along with a compliance card. Posttesting for all participants included a re-test of kick distance and the A-DES.
520 $a The analysis began with an examination of the distributional properties of the variables. Skewed variable distributions were transformed using natural logarithms. For the complex hypotheses contrasting the effects of an imagery intervention on change in athletic performance, a repeated-measures multivariate analysis was employed. Pearson product moment correlations were employed for the simple associations (<italic>p</italic> < .05). One hypothesis was found to be statistically significant, the interaction of time with group membership (Hotelling's Trace = +0.35, <italic>F</italic>[1, 38] = 13.2, <italic> p</italic> = .001). Absorptive scores were not found to mediate this effect (Hotelling's Trace = 0.00, <italic>F</italic>[1, 37] = +0.12, <italic>p</italic> = .914). Age and sex were not found to correlate with absorptive capacity. The bivariate correlation between age and absorptive capacity was r = –.10 (<italic>p</italic> = .52). As for sex differences in absorptive scores, the variances of absorption scores between males and females failed to pass Levene's test for Equality of Variances (<italic>F</italic> = +1.66, <italic>p</italic> = .20). The results support the efficacy of imagery training for this population. Based on this study, absorption did not mediate this effect.
