• Resumen

  • El proceso cognitivo conocido como práctica mental interesa a la psicología del deporte hace ya algunas décadas. Este artículo revisa la literatura existente en este campo: exponemos los conocimientos teóricos de la imaginería mental, revisamos las distintas teorías explicativas de la práctica mental, y nos interesamos en la influencia de sus distintos parámetros sobre la actuación deportiva. La conclusión recomienda la dirección a seguir para aquéllos que se interesen en el cómo actúa la práctica mental sobre el rendimiento deportivo y no se contenten únicamente en consatatar el fenómeno. Hasta la fecha, ha sido ampliamente establecido que la práctica mental es un método eficaz para la mejora del rendimiento deportivo. Sin embargo ninguna teoría es lo suficientemente completa para explicar la compleja relación existente entre práctica y deporte
