Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare of the effects of a single session of aerobic exercise with different intensity and timing on motor learning processes in healthy young adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Long-term aerobic training are associated with improved motor learning. Recent studies have shown that even a single bout of moderate or high ıntensity aerobic exercise can lead to immediate improvements on motor learning. On the other hand, there is still insufficient knowledge about whether aerobic exercise should occur before or after motor practice and what the intensity of aerobic exercise should be. In this study, the ınvestigators examined the effects of a single bout of low and moderate intensity aerobic exercise applied before or after motor practice on golf putting task. Additionally, the ınvestıgators evaluated the effects of sleep quality on motor learning and the acute effects of the exercise on cognition. 75 young adults were divided into five groups: two groups that did low or moderate intensity aerobic exercise before motor practice (LOW-MP, MOD-MP), two groups that did aerobic exercise after motor practice (MP-LOW, MP-MOD), and non-exercise control group. The acquisition practice consisted of six blocks of ten golf puttings. The retention was also evaluated both 1 day and 7 days after the experimental day with one block each. The putting performance was measured with accuracy and consistency error scores were computed for each acquisition and retention block. The sleep quality of the night before and the experimental day were evaluated using the Richard Campbell Sleep Scale.

Primary Study Purpose

OTHER

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
Participants were not informed that there were different intensity and timing groups. In addition, the participant did not know whether he/she was exercising at moderate or low intensity because the speed of the treadmill during the exercise was adjusted by the therapist according to a predetermined target heart rate.

The participant's heart rate was monitored with a polar heart rate monitor.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

MP-LOW (pre-motor practice (MP) low ıntensity aerobic exercise )

On the experimental day, they participated in 60 golf puttings (acquisition practice) followed by a half-hour low-intensity treadmill run.

Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each.

Sleep quality (richard campbell sleep questionnaire) and cognitive level (Paced auditory serial addition test) were evaluated in all participants.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

low ıntensity aerobic exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The exercise intervention was 30 min of treadmill jogging/running. After a two-minute warm-up walk at 1.0 m/s, the treadmill speed was increased to 57-63% maximum heart rate.

MP-MOD (pre-motor practice (MP) moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise )

On the experimental day, they participated in 60 golf puttings (acquisition practice) followed by a half-hour moderate-intensity treadmill run.

Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each.

Sleep quality (richard campbell sleep questionnaire) and cognitive level (Paced auditory serial addition test) were evaluated in all participants.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The exercise intervention was 30 min of treadmill jogging/running. After a two-minute warm-up walk at 1.0 m/s, the treadmill speed was increased to 64-76% maximum heart rate.

MOD-MP (post-motor practice (MP) moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise )

On the experimental day, they participated in a half-hour moderate-intensity treadmill run followed by 60 golf puttings (acquisition practices).

Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each.

Sleep quality (richard campbell sleep questionnaire) and cognitive level (Paced auditory serial addition test) were evaluated in all participants.

On the experimental day, they participated in a half-hour low-intensity treadmill run followed by 60 golf puttings (acquisition practices).

Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each.

Control

On the experimental day, they completed 60 golf puttings (just acquisition practices- NO EXERCISE) Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each.

Sleep quality (richard campbell sleep questionnaire) and cognitive level (Paced auditory serial addition test) were evaluated in all participants.
