Electrical stimulation for testing neuromuscular function: from sport to pathology
The use of electrical stimulation (ES) can contribute to our knowledge of how our
neuromuscular system can adapt to physical stress or unloading. Although it has been …

Neural adaptations to strength training: moving beyond transcranial magnetic stimulation and reflex studies
It has long been believed that training for increased strength not only affects muscle tissue,
but also results in adaptive changes in the central nervous system. However, only in the last …

Central and peripheral fatigue in male cyclists after 4-, 20-, and 40-km time trials
Purpose: Few studies have assessed neuromuscular fatigue after self-paced locomotor
exercise; moreover, none have assessed the degree of supraspinal fatigue. This study …

[HTML][HTML] Transcranial direct current stimulation improves isometric time to exhaustion of the knee extensors
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can increase cortical excitability of a targeted
brain area, which may affect endurance exercise performance. However, optimal electrode …

Neuromuscular fatigue during exercise: Methodological considerations, etiology and potential role in chronic fatigue
The term fatigue is used to describe a distressing and persistent symptom of physical and/or
mental tiredness in certain clinical populations, with distinct but ultimately complex …

Stimulation of the motor cortex and corticospinal tract to assess human muscle fatigue
This review aims to characterize fatigue-related changes in corticospinal excitability and
inhibition in healthy subjects. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been extensively …

Unilateral strength training increases voluntary activation of the opposite untrained limb
M Lee, SC Gandevia, TJ Carroll - Clinical Neurophysiology, 2009 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether an increase in neural drive from the motor cortex
contributes to the cross-limb transfer of strength that can occur after unilateral strength …

Corticomotor plasticity following unilateral strength training
Introduction: We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate 3 weeks of
unilateral leg strength training on ipsilateral motor cortex (iM1) excitability, and short‐latency …

Effects of elevated H+ and Pi on the contractile mechanics of skeletal muscle fibres from young and old men: implications for muscle fatigue in humans
Key points The mechanisms responsible for the loss in muscle power and increased
fatigability with ageing are unresolved. We show that the contractile mechanics of fibres from …
