S’entraîner favoriserait la consolidation de la mémoire motrice Faire de l’exercice cardiovasculaire intense juste après une activité manuelle aiderait le cerveau à mémoriser la tâche effectuée. Cette découverte pourrait améliorer les méthodes de réhabilitation pour les personnes qui doivent récupérer des capacités motrices, après un AVC, par exemple. Un texte de Gabriel Laurin — Radio Canada Scientists are discovering new connections between learning, exercise and sleep. A new study suggests that when learning a new task, people improve the long-term retention of those skills when they exercise intensely for as little as 15 minutes immediately afterward—provided this is followed by a good night’s sleep. The study was published in March in the medical journal NeuroImage. —Wall Street Journal 15 Minutes of exercise can make a new skill stick As little as a single 15-minute bout of cardiovascular exercise increases brain connectivity and efficiency, according to new research. If you want to learn to walk a tightrope, for example, it’s a good idea to go for a short run after each practice session, the research suggests. The recent study, which appears in NeuroImage, shows that exercise performed immediately after practicing a new motor skill improves its long-term retention. —Futurity.org How exercise can help you master new skills Can you improve your body’s ability to remember by making it move? That rather odd-seeming question stimulated researchers at the University of Copenhagen to undertake a reverberant new examination of just how the body creates specific muscle memories and what role, if any, exercise plays in the process. —New York Times 15-minutes of exercise creates optimal brain state for mastering new motor skills A recent study demonstrates that exercise performed immediately after practicing a new motor skill improves its long-term retention. More specifically, the research shows, for the first time, that as little as a single fifteen-minute bout of cardiovascular exercise increases brain connectivity and efficiency. It’s a discovery that could, in principle, accelerate recovery of motor skills in patients who have suffered a stroke or who face mobility problems following an injury. —ScienceDaily « Previous 1 2
