Summary

This study will utilize transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to examine the effects of mental imagery in resistance-trained versus untrained men and women. In randomized order, each participant will perform a mental imagery task or a control condition as TMS is used to study corticospinal excitability.

Conditions

  • Resistance Training

Interventions

OTHER

Mental Imagery

Immediately after determination of the resting motor threshold and pre-test measurements, the TMS administrator will leave the room so as to be blinded to the treatment condition of the participant. At this time the participant will be given instructions regarding the mental imagery protocol from a separate investigator who will not be blinded to the condition. During the mental imagery protocol, participants will be instructed to close their eyes and imagine they are maximally contracting the muscles in their forearm and imagine that they are making their wrist flex and that they are pushing maximally against a hand grip in their hand. This will be a kinesthetic imagery task, in which they are urging their muscles to contract maximally.
