Clinical Trial Summary

The main purpose of this study was to investigate if a six months period of physical exercise could improve motor memory consolidation in elderly people.


Description:

38 subjects of both genders, with a mean age of 71 years old participated in the study. Subjects were divided in two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Before the intervention of a physical exercise program, subjects performed a Finger Tapping Sequence to measure baseline performance. After the intervention, the assessment of the impact of exercise on motor memory consolidation was held in three stages: Training; 1 hour after training and 24 hours after training.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Subjects performed a Finger Tapping Sequence to measure a performance in Motor memory consolidation. The participants were required to learn a Finger Tapping Sequence (4_1_3_2_4) by using a computer keyboard. The finger sequence corresponded to computer keys as follows: digit 1 - Index finger; digit 2 - Middle finger; digit 3 - Ring finger; digit 4 - Little. The participants were requested to repeat the sequence as quickly and as accurately as possible for 30 seconds. 6 months No
