Table 1: Five stages of the program for learning and practicing movement skills.

Level

Type of Activity

Goal

The expected result at the brain level

1

Basic stretching movements

Initial warming up of joints and muscles

Joint-muscular preparation

2

Slow running

Increase cardiovascular activity

Increase blood supply to muscles and brain

3

Regular general exercises

General warming up of joints and muscles

mental-motor (muscular-brain) preparation

4

Practicing and reviewing movement units learned in previous sessions

streamlining cognitive skills in the brain, including Attention, learning, and memory

activation of neural plasticity processes (including its type of neurogenesis)

5

Design and implementation of new movement units by the class instructor

Increase in brain neural activity by learning and practicing new motor skills

Creating connections and brain circuits and using new neurons resulting from neurogenesis, especially in the hippocampus.
