Corticospinal responses to sustained locomotor exercises: moving beyond single-joint studies of central fatigue

SK Sidhu, AG Cresswell, TJ Carroll - Sports Medicine, 2013 - Springer
There is substantial evidence that fatiguing exercise is accompanied by changes within the
central nervous system that reduce the force that can be produced by working muscles. Here …

Exercise intensity affects acute neurotrophic and neurophysiological responses poststroke

P Boyne, C Meyrose, J Westover… - Journal of applied …, 2019 - journals.physiology.org
Aerobic exercise may acutely prime the brain to be more responsive to rehabilitation, thus
facilitating neurologic recovery from conditions like stroke. This aerobic priming effect could …
