“…Once finished TR2, they were randomly assigned to the control, acute, or chronic group. The control group was made up of sedentary people who watched a video about bicycle races for 25 minutes (similar to previous studies: (13, 56)). The acute group was also made up of sedentary people but who, instead of watching a video, cycled for 25 minutes.…”

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that a single bout of PA immediately after learning was also able to improve the long-term retention in motor and emotional memories (12, 13). Furthermore, van Dogen and colleagues (14) have shown that a single bout of PA immediately after learning had no effect on a picture-location memory but did have an effect when it was given four hours after learning.…”

“…Although these studies improved our understanding of the acute effects of exercise on memory formation, few studies evaluated the impact of exercise on long-term memory. The main studies in this field found associated improvements in the consolidation of motor, emotional, and picture-location memory (12)(13)(14). However, it is still necessary to keep studying the effect of these ecological interventions on different phases and aspects of memory.…”

Physical activity benefits both fitness and cognition. However, its effect on long-term memory is unclear. Successful memory involves not only remembering information over time but also keeping memories distinct and less confusing. The ability to separate similar experiences into distinct memories is one of the main features of episodic memory. In this work, we evaluated the effect of acute and chronic physical activity on a new task to assess spatial pattern separation in a 3D virtual reality environment. We manipulated the load of memory similarity and found that 25 minutes of cycling after encoding - but not before retrieval - was sufficient to improve similar, but not dissimilar memories, 24 hours after encoding. Furthermore, we found that participants who engaged in regular physical activity, but not sedentary subjects, showed memory for the similar condition the next day. Thus, physical activity could be a simple way to improve discrimination of spatial memories in humans.

“…Although these studies improved our understanding of the acute effects of exercise on memory formation, few studies evaluated the impact of physical activity on long-term memory. The main studies in this field found associated improvements in the consolidation of motor, 12 emotional, 13 and picture-location 14 memories. In particular, in those three studies, a single bout of exercise after encoding was enough to improve the different long-term retention 24 h later.…”
