简要总结
The main purpose of this study was to investigate if a six months period of physical exercise could improve motor memory consolidation in elderly people.
详细描述
38 subjects of both genders, with a mean age of 71 years old participated in the study. Subjects were divided in two groups: a control group and an experimental group. Before the intervention of a physical exercise program, subjects performed a Finger Tapping Sequence to measure baseline performance.

结局指标
主要结局
Subjects performed a Finger Tapping Sequence to measure a performance in Motor memory consolidation.
时间窗: 6 months
The participants were required to learn a Finger Tapping Sequence (4_1_3_2_4) by using a computer keyboard. The finger sequence corresponded to computer keys as follows: digit 1 - Index finger; digit 2 - Middle finger; digit 3 - Ring finger; digit 4 - Little. The participants were requested to repeat the sequence as quickly and as accurately as possible for 30 seconds.
