Document Summary
Mechanism & injury arising from concussion: result of a blow to the head, rotational acceleration of head, space between cortex and skull, allows for impact of brain against rough bone in cranial cavity, causes injury to cortex. Individuals with mci in aerobic group improved executive control and cognitions following the 6 month aerobic training program: executive control: ability to think flexibly, group who did not exercise had no differences in executive control. Motor learning: a set of internal processes associated with practice or experience leading to a relatively permanent gain in performance capability. If gain is not permanent it is classified as a performance effect, not motor learning. It is far more challenging to develop a learning effect than a performance effect (ie physiotherapy, recovery) Motor control: an area of study dealing with the understanding of the neural, physical, and behavioural aspects of movement: talking about structures and how they connect and work towards movement.
