Muscle pain is an important determinant of exercise tolerance, but its relationship with
neurophysiological responses during a submaximal exercise trial is unclear. The purpose of …

Key points Fatigue and muscle pain induced in a remote muscle group has been shown to
alter neuromuscular performance in exercising muscles. Inhibitory neural feedback …

Experiencing pain in one leg can alter exercise tolerance and neuromuscular fatigue (NMF)
responses in the contralateral leg; however, the corticospinal modulations to nonlocal …

Non-local muscle pain may impair endurance performance through neurophysiological
mechanisms, but these are relatively unknown. This study examined the effects of muscle …

To investigate the influence of pre-induced fatigue in one leg on neuromuscular
performance and corticospinal responses of the contralateral homologous muscles, three …

We investigated the influence of spinal opioid receptor‐sensitive muscle afferents on cortical
changes following fatiguing unilateral knee‐extensor exercise. On separate days, seven …

Acute pain elicits a well-known inhibitory effect on upper limb corticomotor excitability,
whereas the temporal effects of lower-limb experimental pain and pain in a remote limb are …

Although maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force is reduced during pain, studies using
interpolated twitch show no consistent reduction of voluntary muscle drive. The present …

Introduction When performing an exercise or a functional test, pain that is evoked by
movement or muscle contraction could be a stronger stimulus for changing how individuals …

Experimental pain inhibits primary motor cortex (M1) excitability. Attenuating pain-related
inhibition of M1 excitability may be useful during rehabilitation in individuals with pain. One …
