【英語閱讀】神奇，“意念法”運動都能減肥！

A new research study suggests that just thinking of exercising can have the same effects as actually hitting the gym, officials say.

官方稱，一項新的研究表明，只是考慮鍛煉可以產生與實際上擊中健身房相同的效果。

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.

最近發表在“神經生理學雜志”上的一項研究發現，簡單地想象運動可以調節肌肉，延緩萎縮，甚至可以使你的肌肉更強壯。 

Researchers at Ohio University, according to the Breitbart News Network, conducted an experiment using two sets of 'healthy individuals.'

據Breitbart新聞網稱，俄亥俄大學的研究人員使用兩組“健康人”進行了一項實驗。 

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.

研究人員將其中一組的手腕包裹在一個演員陣容中，并給他們指示靜坐11分鐘，每周五天，持續四周，并“進行強烈肌肉收縮的心理圖像” - 或者，想象一下鍛煉。 

The other set were not given any instruction.

另一組沒有給出任何指示。 

The results illustrated that the body and mind are more intertwined than we though.

結果表明，身體和心靈比我們更加交織在一起。 

At the end of the four weeks, the participants who engaged in the 'mental exercise' were twice as strong as those who didn't, Breitbart reports.

Breitbart報道，在四周結束時，參與“心理鍛煉”的參與者的強度是沒有參加過精神鍛煉的參與者的兩倍。 

Additionally, those participants had a stronger brain because the exercises created stronger neuromuscular pathways.

此外，這些參與者的大腦更強，因為這些鍛煉產生了更強的神經肌肉通路。
