A new research study suggests that just thinking of exercising can have the same effects as actually hitting the gym, officials say. 最新研究显示，想象自己在锻炼，也能达到实地健身的效果。 A recent study published in the Journal of Neurophysiology found that simply imagining exercise can tone muscle, delay atrophy, and even make your muscles stronger. 研究发现，想象锻炼可以调节肌肉，延缓其萎缩，甚至可以增强肌肉力量。该研究结果被发表于《神经心理学》（Neurophysiology）杂志上。 Researchers at Ohio University, according to the Breitbart News Network, conducted an experiment using two sets of 'healthy individuals.' 据美国布莱巴特资讯网（Breitbart News Network）报道，俄亥俄州大学（Ohio University）的研究人员对两组“健康个体”进行了实验。 The researchers wrapped the wrists of one of the sets in a cast and gave them instructions to sit still for 11 minutes, five days a week, for four weeks, and 'perform mental imagery of strong muscle contractions,' -- or, imagine exercising. 研究人员在其中一组实验者的手腕上绑上测量仪，并要求他们每天静坐11分钟，每周五天，连续四周。实验者们要利用这段时间“进行肌肉收缩的心理意象”，即想象锻炼。 The other set were not given any instruction. 另一组实验者则不给予任何想象锻炼。 |
