Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Swallowing function is one of the vital functions that ensure human independence. Like many components in swallowing, tongue muscle is also important. It has been shown that the strength of the tongue decreases with age, disease or other reasons. In the development of the strength of the tongue, while physiological principles are taken as basis, a different procedure from normal procedures is performed. However, language is a part of the body where one can study on his own.
Such situations lead to research on whether language reinforcement can occur with motor imagery. Considering that in addition to long-term effects, acute effects may also affect the functions of individuals, the starting point of the study is formed. Studies have investigated the acute change in tongue strength and pain perception after motor imagery.
The primary aim of this study is compare the acute effects of different motor imagery methods and physical exercise on tongue strength and pain in heatlhy adults.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Kinesthetic Motor Imagery
They will be asked to imagine the exercises kinesthetically from a first person perspective (as if they were doing it themselves).
Kinesthetic Motor Imagery Exercises
Seven exercises designated as "jaw shifting, tongue pushing forward, jaw opening, jaw shifting with tongue, jaw opening with tongue, jaw shifting by pressing the tongue on the palate, and chin shifting with one's own resistance", the videos prepared by the researchers and containing these exercises Once viewed, it will be applied as "kinesthetic imagery". Each exercise will be applied as 2 sets x 10 repetitions. There will be a 30-second break between sets.
Visual Motor Imagery
They will be asked to imagine the exercises visually from a third person perspective (as if they were watching from the mirror / from the mirror while doing it themselves).
Visual Motor Imagery Exercises
Seven exercises designated as "jaw shifting, tongue pushing forward, jaw opening, jaw shifting with tongue, jaw opening with tongue, jaw shifting by pressing the tongue on the palate, and chin shifting with one's own resistance", the videos prepared by the researchers and containing these exercises Once viewed, it will be applied as "visual imagery". Each exercise will be applied as 2 sets x 10 repetitions. There will be a 30-second break between sets.
Real Physical Movements
They will be asked to actually do the exercises shown in the video.
Physical Exercise
The videos will be prepared by the researchers and will be watched by the physical exercise group, which includes exercises such as "shifting the jaw to the side, pushing the tongue forward, jaw opening, sliding the jaw with the tongue, opening the chin with the tongue, opening the chin by pressing the tongue against the palate and shifting the chin with the person's own resistance". Then they will be asked to do the exercises physically. Each exercise will be applied as 2 sets x 10 repetitions. There will be a 30-second break between sets.
