This paper shows the use of the mind in reprogramming the limits of muscle force on the application of learning reversible contractions in the process of creating champions in various sports. In a large number of sports, basic movements are carried out in a reversible muscle workout regimen, at 80 to 170 ms from the beginning of a muscle contraction, often in conditions of a large amount of lactic acid, as well as fatigue and the possibilities of joint and muscle injuries. In order for sports movements to comprise winner traits, a reversible contraction should last as short a time as possible, along with a large amount of generated force. Increasing force and shortening the time of a reversible contraction is the result of a Renshaw inhibition – the inhibition of the Golgi tendon organ reflex, the increase of the stretching reflex, shortening the time of alternating eccentric and concentric contractions, increasing speed and synchronizing the switching on of motor units, improving inter-muscular coordination, that is, reprogramming the limits of motor units force, which requires an increased and synchronous entryof impulses and a change of the recruiting pattern of motor units. As reversible contractions represent an integral part of many sports movement and are a condition for top results, they must be learned separately and exercised with a different use of the mind. Thus, the main aim of the paper is a review of the methodology of using the mind in reprogramming the limits of muscle force on the example of learning reversible contractions.

Keywords: championship mind, reversible contraction, visualizing, intellectualization of the training process, linking the sensory and kinesthetic codes.
