In the last decade, many studies confirmed the benefits of mental practice with motor
imagery. In this review we first aimed to compile data issued from fundamental and clinical …

The aims of the present review were to (i) provide a critical overview of the current literature
on the effects of mental imagery on muscular strength in healthy participants and patients …

Background Resistance-training causes changes in the central nervous system (CNS);
however, the sites of these adaptations remain unclear. Objective To determine sites of …

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a mental training protocol could improve
gymnastic jumping performance. Seventy-two rhythmic gymnasts were randomly divided …

Neural adaptations to resistance training (RT) and their correlation with muscle strength
remain partially understood. We conducted a systematic review and multivariate meta …

Tactile Imagery (TI) remains a fairly understudied phenomenon despite growing attention to
this topic in recent years. Here, we investigated the effects of TI on corticospinal excitability …

Objective The current review was aimed to determine the effectiveness of mental imagery
training (MIT) on the enhancement of maximum voluntary muscle contraction (MVC) force for …

Restoring an individual's movement ability when neuromuscular control and motor functions
have been diminished is a key challenge facing rehabilitation practitioners. For example …

There are several situations that can cause an athlete's regular training volume to be
reduced, such as injury, traveling overseas for competition, or highly relevant to the current …

Cognitive training techniques such as motor imagery (MI)–cognitive simulation of movement,
has been found to successfully facilitate skill acquisition. The MI literature emphasizes the …
