  Abstract:  Mental Training in Artistics Gymastics and Different Physiological Aspects. Gymnasts have a general representation about a certain movement as well as a work representation of the way they feel and imagine their own performance and it depends on several factors and circumstances (as Prof. Epuran put it, 1958) such as: the development of the body and kinetic scheme; the perceptive experience due to other persons’ demonstration; the personal perceptive experience due to the test performances and different repetitions; the ability to express verbally these performances by using special terminology. The mechanism of the mental training represents a particular case of the objective-subjective relations in the psycho-behavioral field. As the imagined action leads to appropriate changes in the neuromuscular system, this type of training helps to improve the functional psychomatic indices. At the very end of last century Secenov described the phenomena concerning the exteriorization of the image related to movements. We noticed, that when a person reflects upon a certain movement his muscles undergo changes of tonus, innervation, blood flow that can be recorded with proper physiological means, rather to the imagination of certain movements, variations of blood pressure occur in the capillary vessels as well as changes in electrodermal reflexes, breathing, temperature and electromyodiagram frequency. The techniques employed helped to prove the positive effects of the mental training.
