Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of providing an aerobic training session at different training intervals on the consolidation of hidden motor memory of girls in different menstrual cycles.48 female students were randomly divided into four groups (doing aerobic exercise in intervals of 20 minutes after acquisition, 24 hours after acquisition, one week after acquisition, and control group) were divided. On the first day of their menstrual cycle, in the acquisition session, all participants performed the alternating chain reaction time task in 25 blocks of 88 trials with 20 second rest intervals between blocks. Three memory tests were performed on the eighth day of the menstrual cycle, the 21st day of the menstrual cycle (mid-luteal phase) and the first day of the next menstrual cycle (early follicular phase) for four groups, which included five blocks of the reaction time task. It was an alternating chain. The results show All four groups performed better in three memory tests than the fifth epoch of the acquisition session (p=0.001). The memory consolidation of girls was significantly higher in the middle luteal phase than in the primary and middle follicular phase, and the group receiving aerobic exercise had the best performance after 20 minutes. providing aerobic exercise at intervals of 20 minutes, 24 hours and one week leads to memory consolidation at a higher level and in the group performing aerobic exercise at a time interval close to the acquisition session (20 minutes later) and in the middle luteal phase.
