Longitudinal project - training effects on children's neuromuscular activities The purpose of this study was to investigate training (experience) effects on children's performance and muscle activity. Will training improve children's motor performance to get closer to adult's performance? From the previous study, adults and some older children's muscle activity shifted earlier with faster cadences. However, younger children did not demonstrate this kind of pattern. Will training facilitate children's muscle activity to emerge adult's muscle synergy pattern? The protocol of the longitudinal study is a 6-visit protocol, which included 3 testing days and 3 training days. The participants will get experience of multiple cadences from very slow to very fast. Based on the data we have, children's motor performance improved after training: the performance at posttest is better than at pretest. Although the performance at retention test is lower the performance at posttest, it is still better than at pretest.
Training effects on children's neuromuscular activity is still a mystery... There is no clear changing pattern from what we know now. |
