HI(I)T it! The neurophysiological basis of high-intensity interval training for enhancing motor learning and memory consolidation in young and older adults. KU Leuven
Healthy aging is associated with a progressive decline in motor function. Hence, interventions promoting prolonged independent functioning are of utmost importance. This has sparked interest in non-pharmacological, low-risk approaches targeting excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms that are known to be akin to synaptic plasticity and motor memory consolidation. One exciting avenue is to prime initial memory formation processes through the ...
