However, it is still unclear which functions are affected, and why. It also remains unknown what type of physical training is best suitable. The present study focuses on special movement aspects based on the Brain Gym® program. Four groups of subjects (n = 64) participated in two experiments with pre-post intervention design. In experiment 1, two groups of subjects were exposed to a sensorimotor adaptation study design by executing center out pointing movements under distorted visual feedback conditions with their dominant and non-dominant arm to test for intermanual transfer (IMT) as pre- and posttest. The in- tervention in both groups consisted of specified movement exercises with the right and left extremities: participants of Experimental group executed movements
