Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Bivariate variable error score (BVE)

  The distance of the ball to the target in the x- and y-coordinates was recorded for each putting with the help of coordinate lines drawn on the artificial grass mat. Recorded coordinates were used to calculate the bivariate variable error (BVE) scores. The BVE, also referred to as consistency, was measured, as the average of the absolute distance to the subject's own midpoint. Each subject's midpoint was measured as the average hit location over ten puttings for each block. Lower BVE indicates greater consistency.

  For each of 8 golf putting blocks (6 acquisition blocks on the experimental day, 1 retention block 1 day after the experimental day and 1 retention block 7 days after the experimental day

• Median Radial Error (MRE)

  The distance of the ball to the target in the x- and y-coordinates was recorded for each putting with the help of coordinate lines drawn on the artificial grass mat. Recorded coordinates were used to calculate the Median Radial Error (MRE) scores. The mean radial error (MRE) was measured as the average of the absolute distances to the centre of the target of the 10 shots comprising each block.

  For each of 8 golf putting blocks (6 acquisition blocks on the experimental day, 1 retention block 1 day after the experimental day and 1 retention block 7 days after the experimental day

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Paced auditory serial addition task (PASAT)

  For the four exercise groups: On the experimental day 2 times immediately before and after the half-hour exercise For control group: immediately before and after the half-hour rest.

• Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ)

  Day 1 (experimental day) and Day 2 (1 day retention visit)

Study Arms (5)

MP-LOW (pre-motor practice (MP) low ıntensity aerobic exercise )

EXPERIMENTAL

On the experimental day, they participated in 60 golf puttings (acquisition practice) followed by a half-hour low-intensity treadmill run. Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each. Sleep quality (richard campbell sleep questionnaire) and cognitive level (Paced auditory serial addition test) were evaluated in all participants.

Behavioral: low ıntensity aerobic exercise

MP-MOD (pre-motor practice (MP) moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise )

EXPERIMENTAL

On the experimental day, they participated in 60 golf puttings (acquisition practice) followed by a half-hour moderate-intensity treadmill run. Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each. Sleep quality (richard campbell sleep questionnaire) and cognitive level (Paced auditory serial addition test) were evaluated in all participants.

Behavioral: moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise

MOD-MP (post-motor practice (MP) moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise )

EXPERIMENTAL

On the experimental day, they participated in a half-hour moderate-intensity treadmill run followed by 60 golf puttings (acquisition practices). Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each. Sleep quality (richard campbell sleep questionnaire) and cognitive level (Paced auditory serial addition test) were evaluated in all participants.

Behavioral: moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise

LOW-MP ((post-motor practice (MP) low ıntensity aerobic exercise )

EXPERIMENTAL

On the experimental day, they participated in a half-hour low-intensity treadmill run followed by 60 golf puttings (acquisition practices). Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each. Sleep quality (richard campbell sleep questionnaire) and cognitive level (Paced auditory serial addition test) were evaluated in all participants.

Behavioral: low ıntensity aerobic exercise

Control

NO INTERVENTION

On the experimental day, they completed 60 golf puttings (just acquisition practices- NO EXERCISE) Retention levels were measured 1 and 7 days after the experimental day with 10 puttings each. Sleep quality (richard campbell sleep questionnaire) and cognitive level (Paced auditory serial addition test) were evaluated in all participants.

Interventions

low ıntensity aerobic exercise BEHAVIORAL

The exercise intervention was 30 min of treadmill jogging/running. After a two-minute warm-up walk at 1.0 m/s, the treadmill speed was increased to 57-63% maximum heart rate.

LOW-MP ((post-motor practice (MP) low ıntensity aerobic exercise ); MP-LOW (pre-motor practice (MP) low ıntensity aerobic exercise )

moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise BEHAVIORAL

The exercise intervention was 30 min of treadmill jogging/running. After a two-minute warm-up walk at 1.0 m/s, the treadmill speed was increased to 64-76% maximum heart rate.

MOD-MP (post-motor practice (MP) moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise ); MP-MOD (pre-motor practice (MP) moderate ıntensity aerobic exercise )

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT
• Masking Details: Participants were not informed that there were different intensity and timing groups. In addition, the participant did not know whether he/she was exercising at moderate or low intensity because the speed of the treadmill during the exercise was adjusted by the therapist according to a predetermined target heart rate. The participant's heart rate was monitored with a polar heart rate monitor.

• PI Title: Research Assistant (PhD)

Model Details: 75 young adults were divided into five groups: two groups that did low or moderate intensity aerobic exercise before motor practice (LOW-MP, MOD-MP), two groups that did aerobic exercise after motor practice (MP-LOW, MP-MOD), and non-exercise control group.
