Abstract

<p>[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of mental exercise (mental practice: MP) on new motor skill effects and their maintenance. [Participants and Methods] The subjects were 36 healthy university students with no orthopedic disease. They were randomly divided into four groups: those who performed MP and those who did not. The experimental period was an active period in which physical exercise was performed and a rest period in which no physical exercise was performed. [Results] The post-test score was significantly higher in the group that performed physical exercise and MP than in the group that performed only MP (p<0.05), but no significant difference was found between the tests in any of the experimental groups. [Conclusion] Performing physical exercise and MP improves performance, and that performance can be maintained during rest periods.</p>
