“…Based on the results of the current study, it is apparent that M1 a‐tDCS has a positive impact on athletes' performance levels, which is consistent with the findings of a systematic review conducted by Maudrich et al. (2022). Effort perception relies on the processing of a signal originating from motor‐related neural circuits (Zénon et al., 2015).…”

The rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is a widely used method for monitoring the load during training, as it provides insight into the subjective intensity of effort experienced during exercises. Considering the role of brain in monitoring and perception of the effort, several studies explored the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on RPE in different populations. The aim of current study is to review the studies that investigated the effect of tDCS on RPE in three groups including healthy untrained people, physically active persons, and athletes. Nine databases were searched for papers assessing the effect of tDCS on RPE. The data from the included studies were extracted and methodological quality was examined using the risk of bias 2 (ROB2) tool. Thirty‐three studies met the inclusion criteria. According to the meta‐analysis, active a‐tDCS significantly decreased the RPE compared to the sham stimulation. The a‐tDCS could decrease the RPE when it was applied over M1 or DLPF. Regarding the measurement tool, Borg's scale 6–20 and OMNI scale could show an improvement in RPE scale. A‐tDCS is a promising technique that can decrease the RPE. M1 and DLPFC are suggested as the target area of stimulation. From the tools that measure the RPE, Borg's RPE 6–20 and OMNI scale could better show the effect of a‐tDCS.

“…TDCS has shown promising results in the sports and exercise science field. One systematic review by Maudrich et al (2022) reported that a single a-tDCS session could enhance performance in athletes. However, this study did not address the effect of tDCS on RPE.…”

“…We and others (Machado & Amiri, 2023; Machado et al., 2019; Maudrich et al., 2022) have demonstrated in meta‐analyses that a‐tDCS targeting M1 may modulate fatigue and improve exercise performance. However, experimental studies by our group and others (Angius et al., 2015; Etemadi et al., 2023; Machado et al., 2021) have not experimentally confirmed those effects.…”

Critical considerations on tDCS-induced changes in corticospinal excitability and exercise performance: should we go beyond M1?Dear Editor, we read Amann et al.'s (2022) article with great interest, in which the authors elegantly discuss the potential role of the corticomotoneuronal pathway in central fatigue during exercise, as well as how endogenous (intraspinal serotonin) and exogenous forms of neuromodulation [anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS)] may affect it. We congratulate the authors on their engaging, informative and thought-provoking article, as well as their work, which has shaped many research ideas. We would like to contribute to this important discussion by presenting some ideas for the authors and readers to consider regarding a-tDCS, corticospinal excitability (CSE) and endurance exercise performance.

“…Notably, some of these improvements include hand and leg functions used in activities of daily living (Morya et al, 2019 ). Accordingly, in addition to investigation as a therapeutic modality to improve locomotor and musculoskeletal functions affected by various neurological disorders, M1 tCS is increasingly used to enhance motor functions in healthy individuals (Maudrich et al, 2022 ). Given the distributed nature of the sensorimotor network and widely ranging nature of neurological motor impairments however, it is necessary to assess the feasibility and efficacy of tCS targeted to other sensorimotor neuronal structures.…”
