Abstract :Background: The present research aimed at measuring sport imagery among basketball players from Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IISER);. Method: Sixty insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N=60); male basketball players of inter IISER sports meet with the age group of 18 to 28 years were selected through purposive sampling technique to act as subjects from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research. They were further divided into five groups: Group-A twelve insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N=12); from IISER Mohali, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=12);, Group-B twelve insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=12); from IISER Pune, Group-C twelve insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=12); from IISER Bhopal, Group-D twelve insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=12); from IISER Kolkata, Group-E twelve insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=12); from IISER Thiruvananthapuram. Statistical analysis: One Way Analysis of Variance insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ANOVA); was employed to compare the entire groups. Where ‘P’ values found significant then Least Significant Differences insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LSD); Post-hoc test was applied to find out the direction and degree of difference. The level of significance was set at P>0.05. Conclusions: It is concluded that results revealed significant differences among male basketball players from Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research i.e. IISER Mohali, IISER Pune, IISER Bhopal, IISER Kolkata and IISER Thiruvananthapuram on the sub-parameters; cognitive generalinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f=2.45,P<0.05);, motivational specificinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f=2.61,P<0.05);, , motivational general-arousalinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f=2.58,P<0.05);, motivational general-masteryinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f=4.26,P<0.05); and parameter sport imagery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Total); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f=2.86,P<0.05);. However no significant differences have been observed on the sub-parameter cognitive specific insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f=.70, P>0.05); and cognitive general insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(f=2.46, P>0.05); among male basketball players from Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research i.e. IISER Mohali, IISER Pune, IISER Bhopal, IISER Kolkata and IISER Thiruvananthapuram
