Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Learning Outcomes
A study testing Education and Education and Aerobic exercise in people with Learning Outcome and Pelvic Floor, run by Izmir University of Economics at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
Trial summary
Most studies have reported that physical activity positively affects memory, observation, problem-solving, decision-making, and specific skills (e.g., reading and mathematics). From an acute perspective, a single exercise session performed before, during, and after a learning task has been shown to improve various… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Effect of Single Session Aerobic Exercise on Learning Outcomes of Students in Practical Courses: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Most studies have reported that physical activity positively affects memory, observation, problem-solving, decision-making, and specific skills (e.g., reading and mathematics). From an acute perspective, a single exercise session performed before, during, and after a learning task has been shown to improve various memory and executive functions (e.g., decision-making, goal planning, task switching). A meta-analysis indicated that exercise performed close to learning tasks enhances short-term memory (e.g., information that disappears within a few seconds) and long-term memory (e.g., information recalled after long time delays). Practical training is necessary in physiotherapy education programs. Practical training includes laboratory work at school, profession-related projects, and clinical internships. Practical work learning prepares students for their profession, job roles, and professional identity. Furthermore, increasing practical applications, such as assessment and practice on models, will also enhance problem-based learning. Therefore, new approaches that enhance learning in practical training in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation may contribute to the development of knowledgeable and qualified physiotherapists.
In this context, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of a single session of aerobic exercise before a lecture on pelvic floor rehabilitation, which includes practical methods, on the learning outcomes of the course.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
EducationOther
Students in both groups will be given 40 minutes of both theoretical and practical training on the anatomy of the pelvic floor, its contraction mechanism, function and dysfunctions, evaluation and physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Theoretical training will be given through presentation and question-answer techniques containing this information, and practical training will be given through a pelvic model and gynecological examination simulator.
Education and Aerobic exerciseOther
Participants in the exercise group will undergo an aerobic exercise program using the Monark 938E Nova Ergometer and software before the training session. The bike operates with its computer software integrated with the ECG system. The aerobic exercise program will consist of 3-5 minutes of warm-up, 20 minutes of exercise, and 3-5 minutes of cool-down, performed at a moderate intensity. During the exercise session, heart rate will be recorded every 5 minutes using a Polar ECG sensor connected via Bluetooth to the 938E Nova Ergometer, while perceived exertion will be measured using Borg's 6-20 rating scale

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Pelvic Floor Health Knowledge Test score
The Pelvic Floor Health Knowledge Test (PFHKT) will be used to assess the pelvic floor knowledge level of the students participating in the study. The PFHKT was developed by Çelenay Toprak, and its Turkish validity was assessed through face validity, content validity, and construct validity analyses. The PFHKT, designed to measure participants; knowledge of pelvic floor health, consists of 29 items. The test uses a dichotomous scoring system where correct answers are scored as 1; and incorrect or unknown answers are scored 0. The minimum score is 0; and the maximum score is 29. As the score increases, the individuals knowledge of pelvic floor health also increases.
Measured: 1 week after the intervention
