Open publisher page 13 citations

Abstract

This chapter explains that the effects of motor imagery on performance and on motor skill learning are well-established. It reviews the literature providing evidence that imagery may be used during different stages of the motor learning process and that this technique may help to reach several different outcomes during the preparation phase preceding a competitive event.
