摘要：
Background:Lately,physical activity(PA) in young girls has been frequently discussed,thus we were interested to examine whether a mental training intervention can increase the level of PA in young girls.Methods:A sample of 56 girls aged 15.4 ± 0.3 years(mean ± SD) was assigned to either the intervention or control group.We then conducted a6-week mental imagery training program on young female participants.PA was evaluated with objective accelerometer monitors.Physical self-concept was also assessed in all participants.Results:Young females’ PA increased after a course of mental training compared to female participants in control group.Furthermore,physical self-concept improved related to mental training program.Conclusion:Exercise imagery may be an effective method of PA increase besides psychological enhancement in young girls.
