Aug 2, 2014 · Mental imagery of an endurance task has been shown to increase muscle activity and reduce performance on the physical performance of the endurance task (Graham et al., 2014). These findings...
Aug 2, 2014 · It wears me out just imagining it! Mental imagery leads to muscle fatigue and diminished performance of isometric exercise.
The beneficial effects of imagery on performance have been observed across many types of tasks yet, under certain conditions, imagery has been shown to negatively affect physical performances (Beilock et al., 2001). Recently, Macrea et al. (2014) demonstrated that imagining oneself performing acts requiring self-control led to impairments in ...
