Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Motor Imagery<br> | Behavioral: Motor imagery<br>* This group will perform motor imagery training in combination with physical practice on motor learning of different motor tasks.<br>|
| Experimental: Double time Motor imagery<br> | Behavioral: Double time motor imagery<br>* This group will perform motor imagery training by doubling the intervention time to the motor imagery group in combination with physical practice on motor learning of various motor tasks.<br>|
| Active Comparator: Action observation<br> | Behavioral: Action observation<br>* This group will perform action observation training in combination with physical practice on motor learning of various motor tasks.<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Hit ratio in a manual skill test | This main variable will be composed by the learning of a sequence of digital movements. | Change from hit ratio in a manual skill at 1 week | 
| Free basketball shots | The percentage of successful basketball shots in different positions will be counted. | Change from hit ratio in free throws at 1 week | 
| Standing jump | Subjects shall place their feet shoulder width apart and their toes in a line on the floor. The subjects will then make a horizontal leap forward, where they are allowed to swing their arms along a tape measure attached to the floor. | Change from distance at 1 week |
