Transcranial direct current stimulation improves isometric time to exhaustion of the knee extensors

Highlights • This study tested the efficacy of a tDCS M1 cephalic and extra-cephalic electrode montage on knee extensor muscle fatigue. • Anodal stimulation using an extra-cephalic electrode decreased perception of effort and increased time to exhaustion. • Anodal stimulation using a cephalic electr...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • This study tested the efficacy of a tDCS M1 cephalic and extra-cephalic electrode montage on knee extensor muscle fatigue. • Anodal stimulation using an extra-cephalic electrode decreased perception of effort and increased time to exhaustion. • Anodal stimulation using a cephalic electrode elicited no effect on perception of effort or exercise time to exhaustion. • tDCS elicited no effect in neuromuscular response and no changes in central or peripheral parameters between conditions.
