The aim of this current study was to examine whether warmth imagery could affect the body temperature, heart rate, quality of life, anxiety, pain rating, and the perception of hand warmth among two female injured Thai Sepak Takraw athletes. Both participants, P1 and P2 female (aged 18 years old) suffered with torn anterior cruciate knee ligament (Grade II), from the Bang Mod Campus, Bangkok Sports School. They participated in 12 sessions of imagery interventions focusing on motivational, relaxation, breathing, concentration and warmth imagery. The results showed that imagery interventions showed decreased in heart rate, increased in body temperature, increased in the perception of warmth, and improvement in the psychological state, which includes the quality of life, anxiety, and pain. The study suggests that the use of warmth imagery intervention showed positive effects on the physiological, physical and psychological on both injured athletes. Thus, similar intervention could be recommended to the injured athletes, to use such intervention during their rehabilitation process.
