Cardio Improves Motor Skill Retention
A new study published in NeuroImage reveals that just fifteen minutes of cardio done immediately after learning or practicing a new motor skill improves long-term retention. Researchers conducted the study to explore brain mechanisms underlying motor learning and the impact of cardiovascular exercise on motor memory consolidation. Subjects were asked to practice a grip exercise requiring varying degrees of force. Afterward, some participants rested, while others did 15 minutes […]
