| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The 1st study examined corticospinal excitability during unilateral force-matching tasks of different difficulty. Single pulse TMS was applied to the hemispheres of seventeen young male during force matching tasks with easy (EASY) and difficult (DIFF) task difficulty. MEPs were significantly larger (P < 0.05) during DIFF than EASY. These results indicate that greater task difficulty increases corticospinal excitability of both contralateral and ipsilateral hemispheres.
The 2nd study tested the effect of the exercise training with task difficulty on muscle and cognitive function. After 3 month-exercise training, exercise training with task difficulty enhanced some cognitive function scores greater than traditional exercise training while exercise training volume evaluated by surface EMG was comparable between training. The results indicated that exercise with task difficulty should be better way to enhance muscle and cognitive function than traditional training regimen.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
通常の筋力トレーニングは，単純な関節の伸展・屈曲運動で構成されている．筋力トレーニングによる筋力・筋量の増大は見込めても，認知機能に対する効果は結果が別れており，その効果は不明である．一方で，本研究で試みたように，動作自体が複雑で巧緻性を含んでいる場合は，たとえ同一運動強度であったとしても，単純な動作よりも大脳の興奮性が増加する．したがって，そのような複雑・巧緻性という要素を含んだトレーニングメニューにすれば，認知機能がより改善・向上する可能性が高まると考えられる．
