Corticospinal excitability during shortening and lengthening actions with incremental torque output
(Wiley, 2018)The modulation of motor evoked potentials (MEPs), an index of corticospinal excitability, has been shown to increase during isometric contractions with incremental torque output in accordance with the contribution between ... -
Corticospinal responses following strength training: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
(Wiley, 2017)Strength training results in changes in skeletal muscle; however, changes in the central nervous system also occur. Over the last 15 years, non‐invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, ... -
Etiology and recovery of neuromuscular fatigue following competitive soccer match-play
(Frontiers Media, 2017)Aim: Previous research into the etiology of neuromuscular fatigue following competitive soccer match-play has primarily focused on peripheral perturbations, with limited research assessing central nervous system function ... -
Evidence for acute electrophysiological and cognitive changes following routine soccer heading
(Elsevier, 2016)Introduction: There is growing concern around the effects of concussion and sub-concussive impacts in sport. Routine game-play in soccer involves intentional and repeated head impacts through ball heading. Although heading ... -
Heavy‐resistance exercise‐induced increases in jump performance are not explained by changes in neuromuscular function
(Wiley, 2017)Post‐activation potentiation (PAP) is the increased involuntary muscle twitch response to stimulation following strong contraction. The enhancement to whole‐body explosive muscular performance (PE) after heavy‐resistance ... -
Intensity-dependent contribution of neuromuscular fatigue after constant-load cycling
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)Purpose: We tested the hypothesis that central and peripheral fatigue after constant-load cycling exercise would vary with exercise intensity and duration. Methods: Twelve well-trained male cyclists (V˙O2max, 4.49 ± 0.35 ... -
Mirror training augments the cross-education of strength and affects inhibitory paths
(American College of Sports Medicine, 2016)Purpose: Unilateral strength training strengthens not only the muscles on the trained side but also the homologous muscles on the untrained side; however, the magnitude of this interlimb cross-education is modest. We ... -
Motor cortical and corticospinal function differ during an isometric squat compared with isometric knee extension
(Wiley, 2018)It has been suggested that task‐specific changes in neurophysiological function (neuroplasticity) should be assessed using testing modalities that replicate the characteristics of the intervention. The squat is a commonly ... -
Neuromuscular fatigue and recovery after heavy resistance, jump, and sprint training
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)Purpose Training methods that require maximal intensity efforts against light and heavy resistance are commonly used for athletic development. Typically, these sessions are separated by at least 48 h recovery on the ... -
An optimal protocol for measurement of corticospinal excitability, short intracortical inhibition and intracortical facilitation in the rectus femoris
(Elsevier, 2018)The study aimed to determine the optimal application of single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the rectus femoris. Twenty-nine male adults participated in the study, which involved 5 separate ...
