Effect of habitual physical activity on motor performance and prefrontal cortex activity during implicit motor learning
Findings showed that higher PA levels were associated with improvements in reaction time during procedural motor skill acquisition (<i>p</i> = 0.03). However, no significant effects of PA levels on accuracy or ∆[HbO<sub>2</sub>] during procedural motor skill acquisition were observed. These findings show that while habitual PA may promote motor performance in young adults, this is not reflected by changes in the DLPFC area of the brain.
