The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of combining motor imagery and action observation on retention and transfer of Badminton Long Service skill in different age groups with emphasis on the role of mirror neurons. This study was semi experimental with non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design. Thirty healthy females in adolescent(14±2.2 years), adult(34±3.6 years) and older adult(63±1.4 years) age groups conveniently selected and assigned in 10 person groups. Scott and Fox Badminton Long Service was done during pre-test and then electroencephalography was used to record mirror neuron activation pattern from C3, C4 and CZ of brain areas during baseline and combination of motor imagery and action observation. Participants watched a video of the proper performance of the badminton long service containing six repetitions three times in each session, while simultaneously performing PETTLEP motor imagery. The intervention was performed three days a week for six weeks. Then, participants participated in retention test after three days without intervention and one day latter transfer test was done. Data were analyzed using mixed analysis of variance and analysis of covariance. Results revealed that following the intervention, the performance of all intervention groups significantly improved. There were no significant differences between retention and transfer test of badminton long service and mirror neuron activation during combination of action observation and motor imagery between different age groups. Therefore, Age did not have a significant effect on learning of badminton long service when participant participated in the combination of motor imagery and action observation intervention.
