Neural
The combination of verbal instructions and mirror self-motor observation attenuated the decrease in torque output during isokinetic contractions.
Combining verbal cues with mirror observation may enhance performance in resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The combination of verbal + MO-mirror attenuated the decrease in torque output in response to 6 sets of 10 isokinetic contractions (P = .043).
Why this rating
Based on the crossover-study design mentioned in the abstract.
