Clinical Trial: OPTIMAL Motor Learning in Table Tennis: A fNIRS Study

U.S., Nov. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07914608) titled 'OPTIMAL Motor Learning in Table Tennis: A fNIRS Study' on Oct. 08.

Brief Summary: This study investigates how OPTIMAL theory influences table tennis backhand learning in young, healthy older, and mild cognitively impaired older adults. Meanwhile, we investigate the neural mechanisms of motor skill acquisition across different ages. This study utilizes functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to monitor brain activity. Beyond immediate performance, the research focuses on Retention (sustained skill over time) and Transfer (application to novel tasks) as critical indicators of true motor learning. To ensure objective results, a do...
