“…Meanwhile, positive effects of acute aerobic exercise on motor sequence learning have been linked mainly to enhanced consolidation [ 18 ]. Notably, differing intensity exercise paradigms may differentially affect temporally distinct forms of memory [ 19 , 20 ]. Specifically, it has been suggested that high-intensity exercise performed shortly after memory encoding may not affect long-term memory function [ 6 ], whereas moderate-intensity exercise has been widely reported to enhance multiple stages of memory formation [ 19 ].…”

Therefore, because the sorts of memory materials used have been variable across studies and because there is a potential interference caused by different exercise intensities, it has been difficult to make direct comparisons between DM and PM findings.…”

Objective: To investigate the different effects of acute aerobic exercise on the formation of long-term declarative memory (DM) and procedural memory (PM). Methods: Twenty-two young men completed DM and PM tasks under three experimental conditions: pre-acquisition exercise, post-acquisition exercise, and no exercise (control). The DM task encompassed word learning, free recall tests both immediately and 1 h later, and a recognition test conducted 24 h after word learning. A serial reaction time task (SRTT) was utilized to assess exercise effects on PM. The SRTT included a sequence learning phase followed by sequence tests 1 h and 24 h later. The exercise program consisted of 30 min of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. Results: In the DM task, compared to the control condition, pre-acquisition exercise, but not post-acquisition exercise, enhanced free recall performance significantly 1 h and 24 h later. The target word recognition rate and discriminative index (d′) of the recognition test were significantly enhanced in both exercise conditions compared to the control condition. In the PM task, we observed significantly reduced (improved) reaction times at the 24-h test in the post-acquisition exercise condition compared to in the control condition. Conclusion: Acute aerobic exercise may enhance long-term DM and PM via effects on different processing periods. For DM, exercise had a pronounced effect during the encoding period, whereas for PM, exercise was found to have an enhancing effect during the consolidation period.

“…Age-related cortico-cerebellar FC decreases have been previously documented in older adults Seidler et al, 2015) with increased cortico-cerebellar connectivity hypothesized to contribute to more efficient sensorimotor transformations (Bernard et al, , 2020. The importance of cerebellar involvement in error-based learning coupled with the widespread increases in cortico-cerebellar FC in the exercise group here suggests that exercise may specifically target cortico-cerebellar circuitry which may enhance error-based learning (Neva, Ma, Orsholits, Boisgontier, & Boyd, 2019;Wanner, Cheng, & Steib, 2020). In this context, it is plausible that while exercise enhanced FC related to error-based learning, it had little impact on motor learning of the STT, as this task contained no error feedback.…”

Older adults show both age-related decreases in resting state functional connectivity and diminished sensorimotor function. Exercise has emerged as an intervention that may mitigate or even reverse these age-related declines. Here we sought to understand whether exercise impacts resting state functional connectivity, and motor acquisition and learning in older adults. Forty-two healthy older adults rested or completed 3 sets of high-intensity interval exercise (3 minutes at 75% maximal power output and 3 minutes light intensity) for a total of 23 minutes, then immediately practiced a complex, implicit motor task with their non-dominant hand across five separate sessions. Participants completed resting stage functional MRI before the first and after the fifth day of practice; they also returned 24-hours and 35-days following their fifth day of practice to complete short- and long-term retention tests to assess motor learning. Independent component analysis of resting state functional MRI revealed increased connectivity in the frontoparietal, the dorsal attentional, and cerebellar networks in the exercise group relative to the rest group. Seed-based analysis showed strengthened connectivity between the limbic system and right cerebellum, and between the right cerebellum and bilateral middle temporal gyri. There was no motor learning advantage for the exercise group; both rest and exercise groups demonstrated motor learning as measured at the short- and long-term retention tests. Our data suggest that exercise paired with a challenging implicit motor learning task in older adults can augment resting state functional connectivity without enhancing behaviour beyond that stimulated by skilled motor practice.

“…Herein, we focus specifically on cognitive-based learning as evaluated by 5 trials of the verbal memory test, which extends previous work that has focused on motor learning [48,50,52]. Interestingly, a recent systematic review with meta-analysis by Wanner et al [53] demonstrated that acute cardiovascular exercise helps to facilitate the consolidation of acquired motor memory, but not motor memory encoding. In particular, exercise before motor skill practice may be favorable for short-term consolidation, whereas postpractice exercise may be effective in improving long-term consolidation.…”

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of acute exercise on short-term memory improvement. The computerized literature searches using electronic databases and examinations of reference lists from relevant studies yielded six studies meeting our inclusionary criteria. In a total of six studies, 16 standardized regression coefficient effect sizes (ESs) were calculated to be meta-analyzed. The meta-analyses showed a statistically significant increase in short-term memory improvement across both the exercise and non-exercise control groups in trials 1-5 [ES = 0.96, 95% CI (0.95, 0.97), P < 0.001]. However, there was no significant subgroup difference between exercise and control groups (Q b = 0.40, df = 1, P = 0.53). Our meta-analytic review provides suggestive evidence that an acute bout of exercise prior to learning does not result in short-term memory improvement to a greater extent than a non-exercise control. Additional research is needed to further evaluate whether acute exercise enhances long-term memory via enhanced learning and/or post-learning mechanisms.
