The Impact of Physical Activity on Brain Neuroplasticity, Cognitive Functions and Motor Skills

Abstract

The research aims to study the mechanisms and factors contributing to brain neuroplasticity. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: analysis and synthesis, hermeneutic method, psychological testing, and comparative and generalization methods. The research results revealed the nature of the concept of brain neuroplasticity and types of neuroplasticity, analyzed the process of redistribution of brain functions, determined the role of compensatory plasticity, revealed methods of studying brain neuroplasticity, investigated the influence of brain processes on the course of learning, memory development, awareness, concentration, speech; identified factors that can affect brain neuroplasticity revealed the role of genetic factors, analyzed stimulation and rehabilitation methods to promote neuroplasticity. The findings may aid in developing novel rehabilitation techniques, specifically for stroke patients, by utilizing the brain’s compensatory abilities through physical activity, pharmacological interventions, and stimulation techniques. The practical significance of the research is determined by the current disclosure of the features of brain neuroplasticity to understand its ability to reorganize the sensory and perceptual systems.
