The Effect of Exercise on Brain Functions
Acute Effect of Motor Imagery Exercise Combined With Movement Observation on Brain Electrical Activity and Cardioventilatory Responses in Healthy Sedentary Individuals.
Concept of action simulation; It is an internal representation of motor programs that does not involve explicit movement. Motor imagery method (MI) or movement observation (HG) method are considered two separate action simulation methods that activate motor regions in the brain. Both methods remain a popular and effective tool for improving motor learning. Research has shown that clinicians working in rehabilitation settings are aware of the needs of patients, athletes, etc. are recommended as methods that participants can use to improve their motor skills.
Motor imagery training is a dynamic mental process in which a movement is mentally visualized without any visible movement or any voluntary motor muscle activation. Movement observation training is a method that involves internal, real-time motor simulation of movements in which the observer visually perceives movements performed by another. Mirror neurons, located primarily in the rostral part of the inferior parietal lobe and the ventral premotor cortex, are activated both when an action is physically performed and when the action is observed being performed by another person. Studies using neuroimaging techniques have provided support for this theory by showing that many areas known to be active during action simulation, such as the dorsal pre-motor cortex, supplementary motor area, superior parietal lobe, and intraparietal sulcus, are indeed active during both HG and MI. There is evidence in the literature that MI and HG also trigger sympathetic nervous system activation. There may be changes in respiration, heart rate and skin temperature, as well as an increase in electrodermal activity.
EEG is an inexpensive, noninvasive, and simple examination that can be used to evaluate neurophysiological functions by measuring electrical activity. Understanding the mechanism of beta rhythms is important because they are associated with conscious thinking, logical thinking, memory and problem solving, whereas suppression of beta waves contributes to depression and cognitive decline.
This study will investigate the effectiveness of exercising or watching or imagining exercise on brain functions.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: action observation and motor imegary
The motor imagery and action observation group was asked to watch a previously recorded breathing exercise video and imagine it as if they were doing it themselves.
|
EEG recording was taken while watching a 10-minute video recording of specified breathing exercises and imagining the exercises.
|
Active Comparator: Active Breathing Exercise Group
Respiratory control, diaphragmatic breathing and thoracic expansion exercises were actively performed for 10 repetitions each.
|
EEG recording was taken while the physiotherapist performed active breathing exercises for 10 minutes.
|
Active Comparator: Control group
Participants will remain in a sitting position throughout the entire experimental group application.
Participants were prevented from making physical movements and were asked to keep their minds closed by closing their eyes and not thinking about anything.
|
EEG recording was taken while resting with eyes closed for 10 minutes.
