Någon som vet mer om studier liknande denna?
In 1992, the lab of two scientists, Yue and Cole, performed a study to demonstrate the power that our mind has over our muscles. The studied consisted of two groups of people. The first group performed a strength training exercise for the pinky finger, five times per week, for four weeks. The second group imagined performing the same exercise for the same frequency and time-frame. In essence, the group that imagined the contractions sat quietly and didn't move a muscle. And to make sure they didn't move a muscle the lab hooked up their pinky muscle to an EMG to make sure no contractions took place.
At the end of the study, the group that performed the actual strength training improved their strength by 30%. What about the group that simply imagined the strength training exercise? They improved their strength by 22%!
