Subclaims¶

q3 i? Force error showed a significant Group × Block × Age interaction; older participants reduced error following rest but not exercise, while younger-old participants reduced error in both conditions. → Eleanor M. Taylor 2024

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Same randomised between-groups acquisition analysis, force error subcomponent. The article reports "Force error scores showed a three-way interaction between Group, Block and Age (F(1, 195.00) = 5.70, p =0 . 0 2 )"; older participants' error reduction after exercise was not significant (p = 0.45). No effect size printed.

"Force error scores showed a three-way interaction between Group, Block and Age (F(1, 195.00) = 5.70, p =0 . 0 2 )"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Physical Well-Being — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Force error increased at retention for the rest group but not the exercise group — related
• High-intensity exercise prior to practice reduced skill acquisition in older adults, with the detriment specific to the oldest participants — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Trial time during acquisition was unaffected by exercise group but slowed over blocks for older participants — related
• The HIIT benefit on skill learning is driven primarily by improved accuracy, shown by a Group × Block interaction for force error — related
• A preceding HIIT bout enhances skill acquisition on a novel visuomotor task relative to an active control, with group differences emerging from Block 4 of practice — reports the opposite
