The brain is in constant mutual regulation connection with the autonomic nervous system. Visual thinking causes changes in the work of the autonomic nervous system, which, in turn, affects the life-supporting systems of the body. The study was designed to analyze effects of actual execution versus watched execution on the cardiovascular system functionality indices for different age groups. It was found, for instance, that the cardiovascular system functionality indices in case of watched execution vary within the range of 45-57% of the actual execution. The sensor cells functions including the transmission of signals from the working muscles and sense organs to the brain, plus the effects of mirror neurons, inter-neurons (nervous cells of the central nervous system) were found to vary when a person is watched and instinctively analyzed when executing. This kind of active watching may be beneficial for the 70+ year old age group, athletes in their post-injury rehabilliation process and in the modern fitness trainings and trainings of space crews.

Keywords: individualized physical practices, actual and watched execution, cardiovascular system functionality rates, age groups, visual thinking.
