Effects of Exercise on Dexterity [PDF]
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1995 As musicians occasionally report that their dextral facility is improved by recent exercise, it was hypothesized that manual dexterity would be influenced by a task requiring exertion. Before and after exertion on the Harvard Step Test, the experimental group's ( n = 25) manual dexterity was tested on a grooved peg board.
