Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an effect of visual imagery with 3D virtual reality on reducing heart rate. In maintaining homeostasis, coaches must understand to use recovery techniques according to the needs of athletes so that athletes have good performance quality. The sample in this study were athletes of UKM Futsal UPI with a total sample of 10 people. This research method uses pretest posttest control group design. The instruments used are Polar Heart Rate Monitor and Cunningham and Faulkner Test. The results obtained from the statistical analysis of Paired Sample T Test in the experimental group sig. p = 0.000 <0.05 then Ho is rejected, meaning there is a difference in average pulse rate after and before recovery visual imagery, in the control group sig. p = 0.000 <0.05 then Ho is rejected, meaning there is a difference in average pulse rate pretest and posttest in the control group. The results obtained from the Independent Sample T Test Statistical analysis sig. p = 0.441 or 0.441> 0.05 then Ho is accepted, meaning that there is no difference in the average pulse rate after and before recovery with visual imagery and passive recovery (control), so the result of this study is that there is no effect of visual imagery treatment with 3D virtual reality on reducing heart rate.
