Adults who engage in synchronous movement to music later report liking each other better, remembering more about each other, trusting each other more, and are more likely to cooperate with each other compared to adults who engage in asynchronous movements. Although poor motor coordination limits infants' ability to entrain to a musical beat, they perceive metrical structure in auditory rhythm p...

relaxation is one of the important mental skills in physical education and sportsactivities. relationship between relaxation and rhythmic exercises with anemphasis on flexibility-functional mechanisms of nervous system has receivedattention in recent studies. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effectof rhythmic exercises on deepening the relaxation of national judo athletes. fo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Unilateral and bilateral training protocols for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke represent conceptually contrasting approaches with the same ultimate goal. In a randomized controlled trial, we compared the merits of modified constraint-induced movement therapy, modified bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing, and a dose-matched conventional treatment. ...

OBJECTIVES To test the hypotheses that Parkinson's disease can differentially produce deficits in voluntary and rhythmic jaw movements, which involve different neuronal circuits, and that levodopa treatment improves specific components of the motor deficit. METHODS Patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and control subjects were tested on a series of jaw motor tasks that included simple...

Rhythmic and discrete movements are frequently considered separately in motor control, probably because different techniques are commonly used to study, and model, them. Yet, an increasing appeal for a comprehensive model of movement generation requires to bridge the different perspectives arising from the study of those two types of movements. In this article, we consider discrete and rhythmic...

the relationship between relaxation and rhythmic exercises with regard to functional neuroplasticity mechanism is a subject that has been studied in recent researches. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rhythmic exercises on the depth of relaxation in national judo athletes. 30 male athletes of national judo team were randomly selected and divided into three groups: cont...
