Summary

This study looked at whether adding motivation to mental imagery or action observation could increase lower back strength in healthy adults. Forty participants were split into four groups: some did mental imagery or action observation alone, and others did the same but with added motivation. Strength was measured before, during, and after the four-week program. The goal was to see if motivation makes these mental techniques more effective.
