Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
However, these studies have only assessed short-term memory immediately after the intervention. No study has so far evaluated these improvements in motor learning through action observation training and motor imagery on consecutive days, nor has it been evaluated with short to medium-term follow-up.
It is therefore that there is a lack in the current scientific literature regarding which isolated method, without physical practice, of mental practice on motor learning is the most effective when exposed both on consecutive days, as well as to short-medium-term follow-up.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Motor imagery
A group of healthy subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria established for the study to which a first-person kinesthetic motor imagery training will be conducted on a sequence of manual motor gestures of increasing complexity for four consecutive days. The tasks of motor imagery will be 2 series of 30 seconds for each of the 12 manual positions to remember
Motor imagery
Two series of 30 seconds training of motor imagery in each manual engine gesture
Action observation
A group of healthy subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria established for the study to which a first-personaction observation training will be conducted on a sequence of manual motor gestures of increasing complexity for four consecutive days. The tasks of action observation will be 2 series of 30 seconds for each of the 12 manual positions to remember in video format.
Action observation
Two series of 30 seconds training of action observation training in video format in each manual engine gesture
Placebo group
A group of healthy subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria established for the study to which an imagery training and placebo observation, inspired by a rural landscape, will be given for four consecutive days. This group will carry out the observation and imagination of a landscape during 2 series of 30 seconds for each manual motor sequence to remember.
Placebo intervention
Two series of 30 seconds of observation and imagination of a landscape during for each manual motor sequence
