|
|
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of mental practice about leg exercise muscle activities of the rectus femoris.
Method: 20 subjects were participated in this study. The values before the experiment were measured and those after the mental performance from the first experiment to the fifth experiment were measured. Electromyography (EMG) was used to measure the muscle activity of rectus femoris.
Result: The muscle activity of the both rectus femoris after mental practice increased steadily and showed significant differences.
Conclusion: In the present study, it was found that the muscle activity of both legs was increased during the mental practice. It can be seen that there was a difference before and after mental practice, and muscle activity of rectus femoris was increased.
