Equivocal evidence indicates that high-intensity muscle contractions can affect the
corticospinal responses in muscles not directly involved in the task. In the present study, the …

This study compared the effects of fatigue on corticospinal responsiveness in the upper-and
lower-limb muscles of the same participants. Seven healthy males performed a 2-min …

This is the first study to examine corticospinal excitability (CSE) to antagonistic muscle
groups during arm cycling. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex and …

The purpose of the present study was to examine corticospinal excitability to the biceps and
triceps brachii during arm cycling and an intensity-matched tonic contraction using stimulus …

To investigate whether the type and duration of activity influences corticomotor excitability
following fatiguing exercise, we compared motor evoked potential (MEP) responses of the …

Studying the responsiveness of specific central nervous system pathways to electrical or
magnetic stimulation can provide important information regarding fatigue processes in the …

We examined the effects of a submaximal voluntary elbow flexor contraction protocol on
measures of corticospinal excitability and postactivation potentiation of evoked muscle …

In this study, we examined the effect of muscle fatigue induced by tetanic electrical
stimulation (ES) and submaximal isometric contraction on corticomotor excitability …

Background The recovery of neurophysiological parameters at various time intervals
following fatiguing exercise has been investigated previously. However, the repetition of …

Human studies have not assessed corticospinal excitability of an upper-limb prime mover
during arm cycling. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether supraspinal …
