Effects of Open Versus Closed Skill Exercise on Cognitive Function: A Systematic Review
BackgroundExercise modes can be divided into open skill exercise (OSE) and closed skill exercise (CSE). While research has shown that these two exercise modes may have different effects on cognitive function, this possibility has not been systematically reviewed.ObjectiveThe purpose of the present r...

The literature searches were conducted using the combinations of two groups of relevant search items related to exercise modes (i.e., OSE and CSE) and cognitive function.

Three of the five intervention studies found that OSE (versus CSE) led to greater improvements in cognitive function in both children and older adults.ConclusionAlthough the majority of studies in this review were observational cross-sectional designs, the review tends to support that OSE is more effective for improving some aspects of cognitive function compared with CSE. More rigorous randomized control trials with long-term follow-ups are needed in order to confirm these differential cognitive effects of the two exercise modes.https://www.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01707/fullmotor skillopen skill exerciseclosed skill exercisecognitionexecutive function |
