西式划船這項運動除了基本划船技術及需具備的體能外，最重要的是槳手之間動作的一致性，而要如何訓練槳手動作的一致性呢？在心理方面可以透過意象訓練的方式讓槳手充分發揮成熟的划船技術與體能，達到身、心合一。因為國內有關划船運動的文獻太少，尤其在心智訓練方面的文獻根本沒有，筆者希望藉由收集國外學者專家的文獻，補充國內划船教練較為缺乏的心智訓練，而意象訓練在心智訓練上佔有相當重要的地位，所以筆者在本文將探討「意象在西式划船之應用」。如果意象訓練能融入訓練課表，再加上技術與體能配合，完成划船動作的一致性，相信將可以提升國內划船選手的運動表現。

Rowing, this sport, except basic technology and physical vigor needing to possess, the most important thing is consistency of movement of the oars. How to train the consistency of movement of the oar? We can let the oars bring the mature technology of rowing and physical vigor fully into full play by the way of mental training, reaching the body and mind to unify. It’s because that the domestic literatures of rowing are too few, above all, there are almost zero in the aspect of mental training. The author of this article hopes to supply the mental training which the domestic coaches of rowing lack by collecting foreign scholars’ literatures. The mental training playing quite important status in mental training, so the author will confer with “the application of the mental training in rowing” in this text. If the mental training can be incorporated with the training school timetable, collocating technology and physical vigor, we can finish the consistency of rowing movement. And we certainly believe that it can improve the performances of the domestic player rowing.
