Then, compare the results of the imagery training program on visual reaction time, speed and anxiety in athletics after the 4 and 8 weeks between experimental groups. The sample consisted of 20 sprinters of KhonKean Sport School which rang age between 13 -18 years, comprised of reaction time of eye - audio - foot (Whole body reaction type II) 60 meters and anxiety. Then, the data were analyzed. Data were statistically analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test. Results were as follows The effect on training of the experimental group and the control group, 1) Have better reaction time, speed of the training week 4 and week 8 Anxiety 3 sides of the test. After training at 8 weeks is better developed than in the controls and the overall anxiety of the three aspects of the experimental group after the training week 4 and week 8, there is a great improvement over the control group significantly at.05 2) The comparison within of group before and after the training week 4 and week 8, reaction time, speed, anxiety, 3 parts, and overall anxiety 3 parts are significance at .05. 3) The comparison between on groups, before and after the training week 4 and week 8, the reaction time with different speed training 8 weeks later no different. 3 sides anxiety and overall anxiety 3 sides and after 8 weeks of training significance .05
