“…The literature search initially identified six studies that examined the influence of tDCS on visuomotor skills. The study of Rocha et al (2020) was removed from the final meta‐analysis as it provided an extreme positive value (see: https://osf.io/e2naq/). Consequently, five studies were suitable for the meta‐analysis, a total of 97 participants.…”

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non‐invasive brain stimulation technique that has been linked with a range of physiological and cognitive enhancements relevant to sporting performance. As a number of positive and null findings have been reported in the literature, the present meta‐analysis sought to synthesise results across endurance, strength and visuomotor skill domains to investigate if tDCS improves any aspect of sporting performance. Online database searches in August 2020 identified 43 full‐text studies which examined the acute effects of tDCS compared to sham/control conditions on physical endurance, muscular strength, and visuomotor skills in healthy adults. Meta‐analysis indicated a small overall effect favouring tDCS stimulation over sham/control (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.25, CI95%[.14;.36]). Effects on strength (SMD = 0.31, CI95%[.10;.51]) and visuomotor (SMD = 0.29, CI95%[.00;.57]) tasks were larger than endurance performance (SMD = 0.18, CI95%[.00;.37]). Meta‐regressions indicated effect sizes were not related to stimulation parameters, but other factors such as genetics, gender, and experience may modulate tDCS effects. The results suggest tDCS has the potential to be used as an ergogenic aid in conjunction with a specified training regime.

Meta-regressions indicated effect sizes were not related to stimulation parameters, but genetics, gender, and experience may modulate tDCS effects. The results suggest tDCS has the potential to be used as an ergogenic aid in conjunction with a specified training regime.

“…The vast majority of these studies have targeted the primary motor cortex (M1) with tDCS [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. However, tDCS of other brain areas, such as the cerebellum [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], and supplementary motor area (SMA) [ 16 , 17 ], has also led to enhanced motor performance. The most common finding is that a 10 to 20-min tDCS application given simultaneously with motor practice improves motor skill by approximately 10% during and immediately after practice [ 1 ].…”

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to improve motor learning in numerous studies. However, only a few of these studies have been conducted on elite-level performers or in complex motor tasks that have been practiced extensively. The purpose was to determine the influence of tDCS applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on motor learning over multiple days on 10-m air rifle shooting performance in elite Deaflympic athletes. Two male and two female elite Deaflympic athletes (World, European, and National medalists) participated in this case series. The study utilized a randomized, double-blind, SHAM-controlled, cross-over design. Anodal tDCS or SHAM stimulation was applied to the left DLPFC for 25 min with a current strength of 2 mA concurrent with three days of standard shooting practice sessions. Shooting performance was quantified as the points and the endpoint error. Separate 2 Condition (DLPFC-tDCS, SHAM) × 3 Day (1,2,3) within-subjects ANOVAs revealed no significant main effects or interactions for either points or endpoint error. These results indicate that DLPFC-tDCS applied over multiple days does not improve shooting performance in elite athletes. Different stimulation parameters or very long-term (weeks/months) application of tDCS may be needed to improve motor learning in elite athletes.
