The distinction between transient performance and relatively permanent learning is particularly critical to motor learning processes. Moreover, the phenomenon of motor skill learning can be interpreted by behavioral changes as a function of motor memory processes. Memory consolidation plays an important role in the process of motor performance and learning in that motor memory has been established in the continuous development of motor skill learning following initial acquisition. Moreover, experience-dependent changes induced from motor memory not only occur on the stage of motor learning, but during on the post-acquisition period. Therefore, this paper focused on motor memory consolidation to explain the process of motor performance and learning, which indicated sleep may directly affect the process of motor memory consolidation. As such, the motor performance and learning measured at different time points reflects the different efficacy of the motor memory. Lastly, the memory consolidation concept that can be applied in physical education teaching and motor practice were proposed.
