Summary

Anaerobic power and capacity are essential in many human activities, especially during sports practice that demand a high strength and power of the limbs. Transcranial direct current stimulation is a noninvasive technique that can modulate motor brain areas involved in motor functions and has the potential to optimize muscle capacity. However, their effects on mechanical power are lacking.

This study aims to investigate the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on mechanical power in healthy subjects.

DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technique that has been investigated for the management of various health conditions. However, its ergogenic effect still has controversial results.
