In the 1930s, researchers proved by experiment that when youre imagining an action, your brain sends signals to your muscles(肌肉) which are too weak to tighten the muscles but might help train the body to perform.

Under the same training rules, both groups improved their skills by getting the ball about 4 inches closer to the hole.Visualization has advantages over the real thing: You can do it anywhere, even when injured.
