舞蹈需要最佳的运动范围和认知能力。心理意象是一种推荐的但尚未得到充分研究的训练方法，可以增强这两者。本研究调查了动态神经认知意象 (DNI (TM)) 训练对发展表现（通过手势脚踝高度和自我报告的观察来测量）和运动学（通过臀部和骨盆的运动范围来测量）以及舞蹈意象能力的影响。测量了 34 名大学舞蹈学生（M 年龄 = 19.70 +/- 1.57）在三个时间点（干预前 2 次、干预后 1 次）执行三项开发任务（即 4 次重复、连续 8 秒保持和单次重复）的情况。使用三维动作捕捉、心理意象问卷和主观报告收集数据。 DNI (TM) 干预后，脚踝高度、髋部屈曲和外展运动范围显着增加 (p < 0.01)，但骨盆排列没有显着变化。这些进步伴随着自我报告的难度水平的下降（p < 0.05）以及动觉（p < 0.05）和舞蹈（p < 0.01）想象能力的显着改善。这项研究为 DNI (TM) 培训对大学舞蹈学生的运动和非运动益处提供了证据。
Dance requires optimal range-of-motion and cognitive abilities. Mental imagery is a recommended, yet under-researched, training method for enhancing both of these. This study investigated the effect of Dynamic Neuro-Cognitive Imagery (DNI (TM)) training on developpe performance (measured by gesturing ankle height and self-reported observations) and kinematics (measured by hip and pelvic range-of-motion), as well as on dance imagery abilities. Thirty-four university-level dance students (M age = 19.70 +/- 1.57) were measured performing three developpe tasks (i.e., 4 repetitions, 8 consecutive seconds hold, and single repetition) at three time-points (2 x pre-, 1 x post-intervention). Data were collected using three-dimensional motion capture, mental imagery questionnaires, and subjective reports. Following the DNI (TM) intervention, significant increases (p < 0.01) were detected in gesturing ankle height, as well as in hip flexion and abduction range-of-motion, without significant changes in pelvic alignment. These gains were accompanied by self-reported decrease (p < 0.05) in level of difficulty experienced and significant improvements in kinesthetic (p < 0.05) and dance (p < 0.01) imagery abilities. This study provides evidence for the motor and non-motor benefits of DNI (TM) training in university-level dance students.
