Timeline of the experimental design. Participants engaged in ten training sessions of a dart throwing task, via motor imagery prior to physical practice (MIP-PP), motor imagery following physical practice (PP-MIP), or physical practice only (PP-PP), based on group assignment. Participants completed four physical testing sessions in a pre/post design for each half of the study. Participants in the MIP-PP and PP-MIP groups also underwent three fMRI sessions (pre/mid/post-training) to capture changes in motor imagery-related brain activation of the dart throwing task.
