ABSTRACT
Taheri et al. hypothesized that the better outcomes in the psychomotor performance in the dynamic sitting exercises (DSE) could be explained by the increase of oxygen uptake, inhibition of vascular inflammatory processes, and rheological alterations in blood. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the time of the study was only 2 weeks with a total of eight sessions. However, we believe that the best explanation for the better outcomes in these patients was that after the change of their routine life with the exercise; they felt more tired and could sleep more and have better sleep parameters as is well-known. Furthermore, some studies have already proved that the quality of sleep significantly affects executive functions, the metabolism of the frontal lobe, and Papez circuit.
