Scientists from the University of Ohio have proven that thinking about physical activity is just as useful as going to workouts in the gym. The study involved two groups of volunteers..

Scientists put plaster on wrists to each person. Every day, volunteers from the first group had to report a contraction of the wrist muscles for 11 minutes.. The second group did not receive any recommendations, reports The Daily Mail.

Scientists have discovered a tremendous power of thought that helped people from the first group to keep their wrist muscles in the best condition.. In addition, the psychological effects activated pathways in the brain responsible for conducting impulses to the muscles..

Information about the connection of higher nerve centers with muscle activity known to scientists for a long time. Many athletes resort to visualization in preparation for competitions.. Before performing a complex action, they think through all the little things in their head, then to translate the exercise into reality.

More research is needed to prove the effectiveness of imaginary workouts in rehabilitation therapy for injuries..
