Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Single blind -participants are blinded Control - Dose comparison

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Fujita Health University

Condition: Condition - Healthy adults Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of task differences on motor learning in healthy adults. Basic objectives2 - Others

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participants will perform an isometric pinch task in which they control a cursor on a computer screen using pinch force generated by the thumb and index finger to follow a moving target. The target size will be adjusted according to performance on each trial so that the task success rate is approximately 10%. Training will consist of four blocks of 20 trials with a 30-second rest between blocks. Ten assessment trials will be performed before training, immediately after training, and approximately 24 hours after training. Interventions/Control_2 - Participants will perform an isometric pinch task in which they control a cursor on a computer screen using pinch force generated by the thumb and index finger to follow a moving target. The target size will be adjusted according to performance on each trial so that the task success rate is approximately 40%. Training will consist of four blocks of 20 trials with a 30-second rest between blocks. Ten assessment trials will be performed before training, immediately after training, and approximately 24 hours after training.
