文摘
- •
The effect of a-tDCS on muscle fatigue and corticospinal excitability was studied.
- •
Two submaximal contractions performed to failure, one hour apart, were compared.
- •
In two separate days, sham or a-tDCS were applied before the second contraction.
- •
10 min of a-tDCS reduced neuromuscular fatigability of the second contraction.
- •
Improvement in performance was not due to changes in corticospinal excitability.
