To date, few studies have adopted this measure within youth sport cohorts, as a result little is known about the vividness aspect of imagery ability in samples of 21 years of age and younger. Participants included 169 youth sport performers between 12 and 21 years of age (M = 16.62, SD = 3.02), representing 14 sports at 4 levels of competitive engagement. Participants completed the VMIQ-2 and were grouped according to age, competitive level, and gender. Significant differences between the VMIQ-2’s subscales were demonstrated with participants recording greatest imagery vividness for internal visual imagery and least vividness for external visual imagery. Significant age differences existed for kinesthetic imagery between the 12-13 and 20-21 …
