Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of mental imagery training on electrical fluctuation of muscles motor units and muscles STRENGTH in lower limbs.Methods: In this study, 30 healthy, previously untrained students with the mean age of 22.4±1.25 years, the mean height of 176.18±5.62 cm, and the mean weight of 67.65±6.15 were randomly assigned to a MENTAL PRACTICE group (n=15) or control group (n=15). MENTAL PRACTICE group trained mental contraction of plantar flexion movement for 4 weeks (5 day per week), and control group did not train but participated in all measurements. The practice program included 50 mental MAXIMAL VOLUNTARY CONTRACTIONs for 2 sets of 25 repetitions. To determine the statistical difference in variables of the study the t-student test was used with the significant level of P≤0.05.Results: The results of this study indicated that MENTAL PRACTICE group significantly increased their plantar flexor MAXIMAL VOLUNTARY CONTRACTION (MVC) (P≤0.05). Also MENTAL PRACTICE group significantly increased their gastronomies muscle EMG (P≤0.05). We concluded that MENTAL PRACTICE can increase STRENGTH plantar flexor muscle, and this STRENGTH gain is attributed to the training-induced changes caused by programming central nervous system which increases activation level of agonist muscles and decreases activation level in antagonist muscles.Conclusion: Results showed that imagery training can affect athletic performance.Keywords:
