Abstract

The research was done because some theories say physical activity is able to give a positive influence on cognitive function. Lack of motion or not performing physical activity may lead to memory degeneration (dementia). The method used was Ex Post Facto. The sample was 30 bike to work community members aged 20 to 35 years old. Purposive sampling technique was used to choose the sample. The main Instrument was Word Test. The data analysis was performed in SPSS 17 by which the researcher carried out Kolmogorov-Smirnov for normal distribution test, Lavene Statistic for Homogeneity test and Independent sample test to see the score differences. The results showed that the average score of cycling group ability was better than motor group (control). It was confirmed by the result of the analysis showing that long term memory ability was 75,53 Vs 63,97 and t = 2,996 (0,004) (p<0,05), meaning that there is significant different between long term memory of cycling group and riding group. It implies that cycling activities have positive impact on the long term memory.
