A success in modern professional sport can be achieved by the rational combination all of the training process components: physical, technical, tactical and psychological. The psychology part of the training includes motivation, psychoregulation and visualization. The human mind is capable to influence subconscious regulation of vital processes and muscular activity via the central nervous system. A creation of neural networks in the brain and strengthening the existing neural connections is a physiological basis of visualization. The same mechanism takes place in the actual implementation of any movement or exercise. Visualization allows to set these neural connections up without actual movement’s performing and finally let the athlete get necessary skills. The visualization technique as one of the psychophysiological aspects of improving the efficiency in clay pigeon shooting has been considered. The training structure has been found out, considering the visualization technique. The main principles of visualization have been determined. Different modes of performing the shooting exercises according to the psycho-neurophysiological mechanism have been described. A review of the theories which are describing the psycho-neurophysiological mechanism has been done. The classification of different modes of performing the shooting exercise (shooting at the flying target) based on the motor and ideomotor technique (visual-muscular exercise performing, visual-mental exercise performing and mental exercise performing), has been suggested. The comparison of the various ways (motor & ideomotor) of shooting exercises’ implementation, has been carried out in terms of psychoneuro-physiological mechanism. The algorithm of the ideomotor exercises, which develops athlete’s coordination and allow to synchronize his actions with the target’s flight, as well as to improve concentration and neutralize the effects of extraneous irritating factors has been determined.
