【正文】 p 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.
