Study Neuromodulation in People Who Practice Physical Activity, Assist in the Evaluation of Athletes, the Benefits of Jiu Jitsu Neuroplasticity for the Autistic Brain, and Muscle Memory

Abstract: Neuromodulation can enhance neuroplasticity, which improves. For example, it can be used to treat disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's disease, or to restore motor, cognitive, or speech functions. Physical activity offers multiple health benefits for everyone, at any age, and for both women and men. Neuromodulation for those suffering from muscle overload, including: Pain reduction, improved neuromotor control, increased muscle performance, and accelerated rehabilitation, children with autism, developing social skills, improving motor coordination, and increasing confidence. Practicing Jiu-Jitsu promotes neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and form new neural connections. This can be especially beneficial for children with autism, as Jiu-Jitsu helps strengthen areas of the brain that may be less developed. Neuromuscular memory refers to the body's ability to recover strength and muscle mass more quickly after a period of inactivity, due to adaptations in the nervous system and muscles. The objective of the manuscript is to understand how neuromodulation occurs for people who perform physical activity, to help in the evaluation of athletes, the neuroplasticity benefits of Jiu Jitsu for the autistic brain and muscle memory. This work is a literature review, based on scientific articles. The inclusion criteria for the articles that were part of this review were: articles published in the last 15 years and published in Portuguese and English on the subject, carefully selected from databases such as Scielo, PubMed, Google Scholar, Capes Portal, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Scielo, SSRN and ResearchGate using the following criteria keyword: neuromodulation, neuroplasticity, neuromuscular memory, port, physical activity.
