Impulse Resistance Training

Meaning

Impulse Resistance Training is a structured regimen of behavioral and cognitive exercises specifically designed to strengthen the capacity for inhibitory control and delay of gratification. This form of mental training systematically exposes the individual to cues that typically trigger automatic, impulsive responses, providing an opportunity to practice the deliberate suppression of that immediate action. The clinical objective is to enhance the functional capacity of the prefrontal cortex to override limbic system drives. It is a practical application of neuroplasticity to improve self-regulation and adherence to long-term health protocols.
