But in his head, Palmer practiced every day. The following weekend, Palmer had the best game of his life. For more than a century, scientists have been trying to understand how this mental training works. In the 1930s, researchers proved by experiment that when you39。re imagining an action, your brain sends signals to your muscles which are too weak to tighten the muscles but might help train the body to perform. In other words, mental practice might create a plan in your head, like a howto guide for a special skill. Sports researchers have done hundreds of studies paring imagined and physical practice for actions. In short, the studies show that mental training works. A 2012 study pared 32 nonprofessional golfers with another 32 who only imagined their action. Under the same training program, both groups improved their skills. Imagination has advantages over the real thing: You can do it anywhere and any time. It is safea main advantage for people such as gymnasts and doctors. And you can practice for longer periods of time because you39。re not controlled by physical tiredness. That39。s not to say it39。s easy. we39。ve had Olympiclevel sportsmen sitting in our laboratory, imagining for two hours, says Tadhg Macintyre, a sports researcher in Ireland. When we39。re done, they39。re pletely tired. It doesn39。t work for everyone, though. If you39。re a beginner, the influence can be harmful, warns Macintyre. If you39。re trying to imagine a free throw, and you don39。t even know the proper movement, then you39。re probably going to mentally practice the wrong skill, and your skill is going to be impaired.(1)How does mental training act on one39。s physical practice? A.Taking a week off from being tired.B.Performing the action before imagining.C.Using imagination to guide one39。s body.D.Buying a howto guide before mental training(2)What do we know about imagination training? A.It is not influenced by time and space.B.It is easier to do than real practice.C.It is more useful for golfers.D.It is fit for everyone.(3)What does the underlined word impaired in Para. 5 mean?
