摘要：The main purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between the visualization uses and constant anxiety levels of elite karate athletes. The sample group of the study consists of 120 [n(male) = 61, n(female) = 59] elite karate athletes determined by random sampling method. In the research, "Imagination Inventory" and "Trait Anxiety Inventory" were used as data collection tools. These variables were tested by parametric tests and Pearson Moments Product Correlation (r) Coefficient technique was used to determine the relationship between them. According to the results of the research, significant differences were found between the trait anxiety total score and “Motivational Special Imagery” sub-dimension related to the competition area variable. There was a significant difference between the maternal education level of the participants and the sub-dimensions of “Motivational General-Arousal” and “Motivational General-Mastery”. A low level of significant relation was found in the trait anxiety total score and the “Cognitive Imaging” subdimension, which is one of the visualization inventory sub-dimensions in sports. As a result of the correlation analysis with the nationality class on the variables of trait anxiety total score, a low level of significant relationship was detected. As a result of the analysis related to the national class variable, it was determined that there is a low level statistically significant relationship in the “Cognitive Imaging” sub-dimension, which is one of the imagination inventory subsports in sports. As a result, it was determined that there is a low level of significant relationship between the use of visualization in elite karate athletes and the total score of trait anxiety.
