Do you know if the “mind-muscle” connection during exercise is important?
.
The following information may help.
.
?The mind-muscle connection is often referred to as conscious and deliberate muscular contraction/activation instead of simply just lifting/moving the weight (external focused training).
.
?Research shows that mind-muscle focused training yields greater muscular activation with lighter loads, but not with heavier loads (1 – 5 Repetition Max).
.
??♂️Research also shows that external focused training is ideal for heavier loads and will yield ideal improvements in strength, endurance, and accuracy.
.
?More studies need to be done to confirm mind-muscle connection will yield muscular hypertrophy (growth).
.
?Hence, the importance of outward vs inward-focused training depends on your specific fitness goal.
.
?Make it a great day!
