Deception improves time trial performance in well-trained cyclists without augmented fatigue
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)
Purpose To investigate the effects of feedback, in the form of a virtual avatar paced at 100% and 102% of baseline performance, on neuromuscular fatigue after a 4-km cycling time trial (TT). We hypothesized that improved ...
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 ...
Differences in force normalising procedures during submaximal anisometric contractions
(Elsevier, 2018)
Eccentric contractions are thought to require a unique neural activation strategy. However, due to greater intrinsic force generating capacity of muscle fibres during eccentric contraction, the understanding of neural ...
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 ...
Performance fatigability is not regulated to a peripheral critical threshold
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)
The critical threshold hypothesis proposes that performance fatigability during high-intensity exercise is tightly regulated by negative-feedback signals from the active muscles. We propose that performance fatigability ...
Determining the potential sites of neural adaptation to cross-education: implications for the cross-education of muscle strength
(Springer, 2018)
Cross-education describes the strength gain in the opposite, untrained limb following a unilateral strength training program. Since its discovery in 1894, several studies now confirm the existence of cross-education in ...
