About this study
Official title: Effects of a Single Bout of Low and Moderate Intensity Aerobic Exercise on Acquisition and Retention of Motor Learning in Young Adults
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.
Read the detailed description
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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Bivariate variable error score (BVE)
The distance of the ball to the target in the x- and y-coordinates was recorded for each putting with the help of coordinate lines drawn on the artificial grass mat. Recorded coordinates were used to calculate the bivariate variable error (BVE) scores. The BVE, also referred to as consistency, was measured, as the average of the absolute distance to the subject's own midpoint. Each subject's midpoint was measured as the average hit location over ten puttings for each block. Lower BVE indicates greater consistency.
Measured: For each of 8 golf putting blocks (6 acquisition blocks on the experimental day, 1 retention block 1 day after the experimental day and 1 retention block 7 days after the experimental day
Median Radial Error (MRE)
The distance of the ball to the target in the x- and y-coordinates was recorded for each putting with the help of coordinate lines drawn on the artificial grass mat. Recorded coordinates were used to calculate the Median Radial Error (MRE) scores. The mean radial error (MRE) was measured as the average of the absolute distances to the centre of the target of the 10 shots comprising each block.
Measured: For each of 8 golf putting blocks (6 acquisition blocks on the experimental day, 1 retention block 1 day after the experimental day and 1 retention block 7 days after the experimental day
Secondary outcomes (2)
Paced auditory serial addition task (PASAT)
The PASAT is a measure of cognitive function that assesses auditory information processing speed and working memory, as well as calculation ability. The PASAT is presented using recording tape to ensure standardization in the rate of stimulus presentation. Single digits are presented every 2 seconds and the patient must add each new digit to the one immediately prior to it. The score for the PASAT is the total number correct out of 60 possible answers.
Measured: For the four exercise groups: On the experimental day 2 times immediately before and after the half-hour exercise For control group: immediately before and after the half-hour rest.
Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ)
The RCSQ is a five-item self-report questionnaire that is used in order to assess perceived sleep depth, sleep latency (time to fall asleep), and number of awakenings, as well as sleep efficiency and quality.
Measured: Day 1 (experimental day) and Day 2 (1 day retention visit)
