Abstract Background: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of physical and mental practice in enhancing the strength of the biceps brachii muscle in young adults.
Given the growing interest in mental training techniques in sports and rehabilitation, understanding their impact on muscular strength could provide valuable insights into optimizing training protocols.
Methods: 60 subjects were assessed and then included in the study with a sample of young adults (age range: 19-26years) divided into three groups. physical practice, mental practice, combined mental and physical practice group. In the physical practice group, the subjects were given verbal instruction to flex the elbow as hard as they can press for a seconds of isometric contraction and was always performed on strain gauge. The mental practice group engaged in mental imagery sessions focusing on visualizing and mentally rehearsing biceps brachii contractions. Combined physical and mental practice group- this practice group were imagined and performed the maximal isometric contraction.
Results: After the intervention period, combined of physical and mental practice group showed significant improvements in biceps brachii strength more than either physical or mental practice when worked alone.
Conclusion: The current study said that the combined of mental practice and physical practice is effective in increasing the biceps brachii strength in subjects without impairments. The elbow muscle were chosen because they are a clinically significant muscle group in activities of daily living. The next step then is to examine the role of mental practice in strength improvements in patients with neuromuscular or musculoskeletal pathological involvement.
