- In this study, participants performed 30mins of moderate cycling
- The moderate intensity represented about 60% of your maximum effort
- Immediately following the workout the motor cortex has less gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits activity in the brain
- This is similar mechanism for how aerobic exercise promotes neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to reshape itself
- What this process might do is enhance early acquisition and consolidation skills leading to improved motor memory and performance
- This means that a workout could prime strike victims fr more effective physical therapy allowing them to recoordinate their limbs because memory isn't just mental, but physical
How can you take advantage of this?
Glad you asked!
If you have a big day at work planned then if you train in the morning then make that session of a moderate intensity and duration to prepare your mind and body for what you have to do later, rather then hitting the high intensity class that leave son the floor for 30mins, making you late for work and breaking your day before it even starts.
Luck is also on your side as I have opened up 8 spots for 30mins sessions starting from next week so get in contact with me if you'l like a good dose of neuroplasticity!
