Mind over muscle: can VR help you imagine your way to stronger legs?

NCT ID NCT07461688

Summary

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) could help people who have a hard time picturing movements in their mind get more benefit from mental practice. Thirty-two healthy young men did a 4-week leg strengthening program. Some used VR headsets during mental practice, while others used different techniques. Researchers measured changes in their ability to imagine movements, their leg strength, and their muscle activity to see which method worked best.
