Event:

Current research suggests that a single bout of cardiovascular exercise (CVE) can transiently promote neuroplastic processes. When performed in close temporal proximity to skill practice, CVE has been shown to enhance motor memory formation. Although these findings highlight CVE as a promising strategy to facilitate motor learning in sports and neurorehabilitation, existing evidence is largely based on relatively simple fine motor tasks in neurotypical young adults.

Here, I will present our ongoing research investigating the effects of CVE on the learning of a balance task. Adopting a lifespan perspective, I will discuss experimental findings ranging from young adults to older adults, including individuals with and without Parkinson’s disease. Collectively, this work seeks to determine whether the beneficial effects of CVE generalize to more ecologically valid learning contexts and to identify potential mechanisms that may modulate these effects.
