Tóm tắt

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of a programme of training with cerebral stimulation by auditory stimuli on motor learning in the practice of judo. Twenty adolescents of 12–14 years of age were selected and were divided into an Experimental Group (EG) and a Control Group (CG), the EG realising a programme of 36 sessions of judo training of 45 min duration, parallel to a programme of training with cerebral stimulation by auditory stimuli of 35 min duration. The CG realised only the judo programme with the same number of sessions of the same duration. The pre- and post-programme data revealed that the EG, which used both the programme of judo training and the programme of training with cerebral stimulation by auditory stimuli, was significantly superior to the CG (p≤0.05) in relation to performance in learning and memorisation. It is concluded that the results described here are substantial regarding the interactivity between a programme of training with cerebral stimulation, and motor learning and memorisation.
