Can acute resistance exercise facilitate episodic memory encoding
Research has shown benefits of physical exercise on memory performance when carried out before or after a memory task. The effects of concurrent physical exercise and particularly resistance exercise are still inconclusive. The current study investigates the influence of resistance exercise with two intensities (fast and slow squats) on performance in a wordlist learning task using a within-subject design. Sport students ( N = 58, M age = 23 year…
Tennis expertise reduces costs in cognition but not in motor skills in a cognitive-motor dual-task condition
Dual-process theories predict performance reductions under dual-task situations (= situations where two tasks have to be processed and executed simultaneously), because limited cognitive resources have to be shared between concurrent tasks. Increases in expertise should reduce the attentional resources needed to perform a motor task, leading to reduced dual-task costs. The current studies investigated whether expert tennis players (performance ra…
Table tennis expertise influences dual-task costs in timed and self-initiated tasks
Theories on resource sharing predict that performances will suffer under dual-task conditions. However, increases in skill level should decrease attentional resources needed to perform a task, resulting in a reduction of dual-task costs. The current study investigates whether table tennis experts are better able than novices to keep up their motor and cognitive performances in a dual-task situation. Two different cognitive tasks, 3-back and Count…
