Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is a well-described phenomenon with a short half-life (~
28 s) that enhances muscle force production at submaximal levels of calcium saturation (ie …

Neuromuscular fatigue occurs when an individual's capacity to produce force or power is
impaired. Repeated sprint exercise requires an individual to physically exert themselves at …

Most current methods for neuromodulation target the cortex. Approaches for inducing
plasticity in subcortical motor pathways, such as the reticulospinal tract, could help to boost …

During activity-dependent potentiation (ADP), motor unit firing rates (MUFRs) are lower;
however, the mechanism for this response is not known. During increasing torque isometric …

Abstract Post-activation potentiation (PAP), described as a muscular phenomenon, refers to
the enhancement of contractile properties following a voluntary or electrically stimulated …

A potentiating conditioning contraction (CC) has been shown to increase silent period
duration, an index of corticospinal inhibition; however, it is unknown if the CC must induce …

Purpose To explore the effect of tasting unpleasant salty or bitter solutions on lower limb
corticomotor excitability and neuromuscular function. Methods Nine females and eleven …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is increasingly used to examine lower extremity
corticospinal excitability (CSE) in clinical and sports research. Because CSE is task-specific …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of shoulder position on corticospinal
excitability (CSE) of the biceps brachii during rest and a 10% maximal voluntary contraction …

The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of shoulder position, 0° versus 90°
shoulder flexion, on stimulation intensity and maximal muscle compound action potentials …
