Abstract:During movements, neural signals are translated into shortening of muscle fibers. This study investigated cortical excitatory and inhibitory processes in relation to muscle fascicle dynamics during isometric explosive contractions. Fourteen adults performed submaximal and maximal dorsiflexions. Single and paired pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation of the tibialis anterior (TA) was applied during rest, the activation and deactivation phase of contractions to test for short- (SICI) and long-interval intracor… Show more
