Effect of a single bout of aerobic exercise on cognitive function and motor learning in elder people.

The Object: effect of a single bout of aerobic exercise on cognitive function and motor learning in elder people. The research problem: it was found, that after an acute moderate intensty aerobic exercise workload begins neurochemical processes, which has effect on cognitive function improvement (Kamijo et al., 2009; Snow et al., 2016) for young people (Drollette et al., 2014; Barella et al., 2010; McDonell et al., 2013), but is not known how a single bout moderate intensity aerobic training load affects the movement of older people and how the improvement of cognitive function influence learning movements. The aim: to determine the effect of a single bout of aerobic exercise on cognitive function and motor learning in elder people. Objectives: 1. Determine a single bout aerobic exercise effects on the elderly people cognitive function. 2. Determine the heart rate changes during the motor learning. 3. Determine a single bout aerobic exercise effect on the elferly people motor learning. Hypothesis: 1. On the basis of earlier studies, which have used a single bout aerobic workload for the elderly people (McMorran et al., 2011; Labelle et al. 2013; Mang et al. 2014), we believe that 20 minutes of moderate-intensity single bout aerobic exercises improves cognitive function; 2. Based on earlier studies with young people as aerobic load affect motor learning (Mang et al., 2014; MacIntosh et al., 2014), and knowing that after 20 minutes of a single bout aerobic exercise increases BDNF and improves cognitive function (Smith et al., 2013; Snow et al. 2015; Schuch et al. 2015), we believe that training will improve the motor learning of elderly people. Conclusions: 1. Cognitive function improved in elderly people, but did not affect the working memory. 2. A single bout aerobic exercise significantly increased heart rate during motor learning. 3. Motor learning movements accuracy improved in elderly people. 8 Recommendations and suggestions: 1. It is appropriate to apply 20 minutes a single bout aerobic exercise medium intensity to improve motor learning and working memory. Also, after study, we found a trend that after a single bout aerobic exercise remains the long-term effects on motor learning. 2. It is important to not cause the fatigue, which can conceal a positive effect in results after a single bout aerobic exercise. 3. In the future studies, we should investigate the impact of using different durations of aerobic workload and intensity, find the optimal load, which could be applied to the elderly people to improve cognitive function and motor learning. 4. In order to stave off the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, according to the research, for the elder people on a regular basis can be recommended to perform moderate intensity aerobic exercise workload for 20 minutes. Because straight of a single aerobic exercise workload is noticeable improved cognitive functions rates and residual effects (Rolland et al. 2013). 5. According to our and other researchers studies with elderly people, it is determined that an acute aerobic exercise workload increases cognitive reserve, improves physical health, motor and cognitive functions and immediately after a workload starting neurochemical processes which promote neuroplasticity. For healthy aging, vigorous physical activity can be started at any age (Seidler et al., 2010; Gates & Valenzuela, 2010; Lam et al. 2012; Uc et al. 2014; Ngando et al. 2015)
