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 ...
The assessment of neuromuscular fatigue during 120 min of simulated soccer exercise
(Springer, 2017)
Purpose
This investigation examined the development of neuromuscular fatigue during a simulated soccer match incorporating a period of extra time (ET) and the reliability of these responses on repeated test occasions.

Enhanced corticospinal excitability and volitional drive in response to shortening and lengthening strength training and changes following detraining
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
There is a limited understanding of the neurological adaptations responsible for changes in strength following shortening and lengthening resistance training and subsequent detraining. The aim of the study was to investigate ...
Contraction intensity and sex differences in knee-extensor fatigability
(Elsevier, 2017)
Females are less fatigable than males during isometric contractions across various muscles and intensities. However, sex differences in knee-extensor fatigability remain relatively unexplored. Purpose: To determine the sex ...
Test-retest reliability of physiological and performance responses to 120 minutes of simulated soccer match play
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)
This study investigated the test-retest reliability of physiological and performance responses to 120 minutes (90 minutes plus 30 minutes extra-time [ET]) of the soccer match simulation (SMS). Ten university-standard soccer ...
Relation between peak power output in sprint cycling and maximum voluntary isometric torque production
(Elsevier, 2017)
From a cycling paradigm, little has been done to understand the relationships between maximal isometric strength of different single joint lower body muscle groups and their relation with, and ability to predict PPO and ...
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation attenuates the perception of force output production in non-exercised hand muscles after unilateral exercise
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
We examined whether unilateral exercise creates perception bias in the non-exercised limb and ascertained whether rTMS applied to the primary motor cortex (M1) interferes with this perception. All participants completed 4 ...
Cycling-specific isometric resistance training improves peak power output in elite sprint cyclists
(Wiley, 2020)
Introduction
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a 6‐week cycling‐specific, isometric resistance training program on peak power output (PPO) in elite cyclists.
Methods
Twenty‐four elite track sprint cyclists ...
