Abstract
The neural mechanisms responsible for processing declarative and procedural memory often interact rather than operate independently. Empirical evidence suggests a competitive relationship between these memory systems in humans. Research indicates that engaging in declarative learning tasks shortly after motor skill acquisition can disrupt procedural memory, leading to the loss of consolidated skill performance gains. Our prior research demonstrated the efficacy of brief cardiovascular exercise in safeguarding procedural memory through enhanced consolidation following practice. Considering the reciprocal influence between memory systems, the current study aimed to expand upon our previous findings by investigating whether cardiovascular exercise could similarly protect declarative memory through enhanced post-acquisition consolidation.
