Participants in the relaxing kinesthetic motor imagery training group will imagine relaxing (low effort) exercises (e.g. breathing exercises, stretching, body awareness exercises) in home using the study audio-video motor imagery script 5 times per week; 17 min per day for 2 weeks. Phone calls will be performed for support and as a reminder for the assessment (after one week).

The Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised assesses visual and kinesthetic movement imagery ability and is comprised of four visual and four kinesthetic items. Each item entails performing a movement, visually or kinesthetically imaging that movement and then rating the ease or difficulty of generating that image on a 7-point scale from 1 = very hard to see/feel to 7 = very easy to see/feel. Higher scores indicate higher visual or kinesthetic movement imagery ability.

The participants will actually execute and imagine a motor task: walking at comfortable speed for a distance of 6 m. The duration of actual and imagined movements will be recorded by means of an electronic stopwatch. During the execution of the actual and imagined movements subjects will hold the electronic stopwatch in their non-dominant hand. They will start the stopwatch when they started to move (actual or imagined movement) and they will stop it when they completed their movement (actual or imagined). Delta time will be calculated with the formula [(actual - imagined) / (actual + imagined / 2)] × 100. Lower scores indicate higher motor imagery ability.

The participants will actually execute and imagine a motor task: writing the following sentence: "Türkiye'nin başkenti Ankara". The duration of actual and imagined movements will be recorded by means of an electronic stopwatch. During the execution of the actual and imagined movements subjects will hold the electronic stopwatch in their non-dominant hand. They will start the stopwatch when they started to move (actual or imagined movement) and they will stop it when they completed their movement (actual or imagined). Delta time will be calculated with the formula [(actual - imagined) / (actual + imagined / 2)] × 100. Lower scores indicate higher motor imagery ability.

A tablet including an application Recognise™ app, NOI) will be placed on a table while the participants sitting in a standard chair. When given the cue to begin, participants will view the image and touch the screen to select the appropriate hand laterality judgement image interpretation. A standard 5-s maximum time limit per image will be set on the app. At the completion of the 40 images the accuracy for right, left, and total will be recorded along with average time per image to the nearest hundredth of a second.

Quark cardiopulmonary exercise testing system will be used to assess Resting Metabolic Rate Measurements. Oxygen consumption is an indicator of aerobic capacity. Higher scores indicate higher aerobic capacity.

Quark cardiopulmonary exercise testing system will be used to assess Resting Metabolic Rate Measurements. The ratio of carbon dioxide output/oxygen uptake is called the respiratory exchange ratio. Under steady state conditions, the respiratory exchange ratio equals the respiratory quotient. The respiratory quotient value is determined by the fuels used for metabolic processes. An respiratory quotient of 1 indicates metabolism primarily of carbohydrates, whereas an respiratory quotient of <1 indicates a mixture of carbohydrates and fat (respiratory quotient about 0.7) or protein (respiratory quotient about 0.8).
